Afghanistan's U19 cricket team beat host South Africa by 5 wickets to win 7th place in the ICC U19 cricket World Cup 2020 on Wednesday.

South Africa won the toss and opted to bat first and set a target of 155 for Afghanistan.

Afghanistan, with a good batting performance, won the match by five wickets with Ibrahim Zadran carrying his bat to an unbeaten 73 off 113 balls.

In the bowling department, Shafiqullah Ghafari stood out again by taking the mist wickets--getting four wickets in less than nine overs.

 “It was simple the way I bowled, focused on my line and length,” Ghafari said, adding that all he was trying to do was to bowl dot balls, and he definitely got them.
