Edit Delete India A vs Afghanistan A LIVE Score: Afghanistan A storm into the final with a 20-run win

That’s all from our side as India A’s campaign ends in the Emerging Teams Asia Cup 2024.

This was the first 200-plus score in the 2024 Emerging Teams Asia Cup. India in reply kept losing wickets regularly and while Ramandeep Singh played a brilliant knock of 64 off 34 balls, it was never going to be enough. Nonetheless, a thrilling match. Good night!
