U-19 World Cup 2022: Aayan power UAE to one of the biggest wins in their history;
U-19 World Cup 2022: A brilliant innings from Aayan Afzal Khan helped UAE to one of the biggest wins in their history as they beat the West Indies by 82 runs in the Plate semi-finals in Trinidad.
Having edged past Uganda by a wicket to seal their spot in the semis, UAE endured a torrid start against the tournament hosts when Shiva Shankar (3-31) struck early and often to leave the visitors scrambling at 26 for four.
But it was at that point that Aayan came to the crease, and his 93 turned the game on its head, with his 103-run partnership with Shival Bawa (51) for the seventh wicket ensured that the Asian would have something to defend.
