England reached the Under-19 Cricket World Cup final after beating Afghanistan by 15 runs in Antigua on Wednesday.
Afghanistan appeared well placed for victory when James Sales conceded 20 runs in an over, including two no-balls, before Rehan Ahmed (4-41) took three wickets in the penultimate over to swing momentum back England’s way.
England limited Afghanistan to 216-9 to earn a 15-run victory, securing them a place in Saturday’s final against either Australia or India.
