Despite the valiant efforts of Ramandeep Singh, India was unable to reach the 207-run target.
Afghanistan A advanced to the ACC Men’s T20 Emerging Teams Asia Cup 2024 final after shocking India A by 20 runs. Afghan openers Sediqullah Atal (83) and Zubaid Akbari (64) scored a 137-run opening partnership after opting to bat after winning the toss. Afghanistan reached an incredible 206 thanks to a spectacular climax from Karim Janat, who scored 41 off 20 balls.
