PNG's choice to bat first was an inquisitive one
with the learning that each of the four morning diversions at Malahide before
Thursday's challenge had been won by the pursuing group. Afghanistan joyfully
acknowledged the chance to bowl first and stuck PNG back to 20 for 2 in a limit
free Powerplay.
Both openers were gotten behind for 5 in
progressive overs - Lega Siaka was out after level footed wash to Dawlat Zadran
while Tony Ura feathered an edge off an endeavored draw against Shapoor Zadran.
Vani Morea tumbled to Mohammad Nabi in the eighth over for 9, given leg-before
missing an oar clear, however replays demonstrated there was some uncertainty
regarding whether contact was in accordance with off stump.
Assad Vala, PNG's driving scorer in the
gathering stage, included only 7 preceding he was given out rearranging over
his stumps to the medium-pace of Mirwais Ashraf. Mahuru Dai attempted to convey
life to PNG's innings by scooping Shapoor over fine-leg yet was out next ball
for 11 after his uppercut discovered Mangal
at third man to make it 55 for 5 in the thirteenth.

Hamid Hassan had been out of the line-up for
Afghanistan's two misfortunes in the competition to Oman and Hong Kong, and
rocked the bowling alley nicely in his initial three overs to take 1 for 16
including an opposite swinging diamond that knocked down some pins Jack Vare
for 13 to end the seventeenth at 89 for 6. Be that as it may, Hassan came in
for some overwhelming discipline in the nineteenth from Norman Vanua and
Charles Amini, surrendering 20 hurries to ruin his figures.
Vanua, whose unbeaten 28 off 10 balls at no. 10
moved PNG to a two-wicket win over Ireland, came in at no. 8 today and gave a
comparable sparkle, breaking Hassan over square-leg for six and again through
the spreads for four preceding Amini paddled a four behind square later in the
over. Vanua inclined Mirwais Ashraf in the twentieth and finished unbeaten on
22 off 10, while Amini's run-a-ball 37 was PNG's most elevated individual score
in Ireland. The pair's 38-run stand to end the innings gave the side trust.
That trust was developed further on the first
bundle of the pursuit as Vanua got Mohammad Shahzad to pursue a short and wide
conveyance, giving a toe edge for a brilliant duck. Another open door was
accessible to get Asghar Stanikzai on 9 in the fourth over, however Amini's dart
for the stumps from mid-on was wide.
PNG did their best to keep things tight yet
Afghanistan were sufficiently tolerant to sit tight for the free ball to
discharge any building weight. Mangal
smacked a limit over the leg side to begin the 6th off Chad Soper and afterward
hurled a half-tracker from Dai over the midwicket rope to begin the ninth.

The 57-run stand was at last broken by the
legspin of Amini, who tempted Stanikzai to descend the track on a loopy decent
length conveyance dragged wide outside off. The turn beat Stanikzai's edge and
Vare whipped off the safeguards for 22, consummation the tenth at 57 for 2.
The briefest bit of PNG force was stolen back
instantly by Mangal, who
counter-punched in the eleventh by propelling consecutive sixes from Dai's off
twist back over the bowler's head. The main blips in the pursuit from
subsequently were the wickets of Samiullah Shenwari and Mohammad Nabi.
Shenwari's endeavored converse oar off Amini went to Dai at in reverse point
and Nabi skied a draw against Vanua to Dai at midwicket in the seventeenth.
In any case, Mangal had raised his 50 off 43 balls by that point and any trusts
of a PNG rebound were totally smashed when Loa Nou rocked the bowling alley
continuous front foot no balls in the eighteenth, the second of which was
launch for six by Najibullah Zadran to convey the mathematical statement down
to nine off 15 balls. Najibullah finished the match in the following over with
another six.
Afghanistan now go to the World Twenty20 for the
fourth back to back time while PNG end the competition with three straight
annihilations when a win in any of those challenges - against Namibia, USA and
Afghanistan - would have secured a spot in India for the side.
