Nepal won the title for the fourth time showing that they are the number one in ACC-U19. In the final Nepal defeated Afganistan, who has not lost any of its game in the match, by 48 runs. To defeat the Afganistan, Nepali bowlers played a key role.
Winning the toss, Nepal chose to bat first; but their decision was proved wrong when Afganistani bowler took key five Nepali wickets with just 60 runs in the score board. But the Nepali players showed their defiance towards Afganistan bowlers and put a total of 171 runs with two balls to spare of fifty overs.
In reply, Nepali bowlers performed well and limited the Afganistan innings in 124 runs all out.
With this win Nepal now plays the runners-up of European region for a spot in the Youth World Cup. Apart from Nepal; Malaysia as the hosts of the World Cup 2008, automatically qualifies for the event.
