Both teams have already qualified for the finals. The Sri Lankan skipper Dasun Shanaka powered his side to victory against the tournament favorites, India. The Sri Lankan bowlers restricted the Indian batters for a below par score of 173. Dilshan Madushanka was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 3/24. Though the score was not enough according to the surface, the Sri Lankan batters did struggle in the middle overs after a good opening partnership as both the openers got fifties. India did well to pull back the game but Sri Lanka managed to somehow get over the line by 6 wickets and sealed their spot for the finals.
Pakistan too played an absolute thriller of a game to seal their spot for the finals. Chasing a moderate total of 130 they were challenged by Afghanistan bowlers. They were almost down and out tottering at 118-9 after the last recognised batter Asif Ali’s dismissal. They pulled of a heist as Naseem Shah the 19-year old quick bowler, showed his worth with the bat. He smashed 2 sixes off two balls in last ball. Pakistan won by 1 wicket and made it to the finals
