Batting first, Sri Lanka oversaw 133/7, with Sahan Arachchige's tough 64 off 47 balls being the champion presentation.

Accordingly, Afghanistan pursued down the objective with 11 balls in excess, drove by Sadiqullah Atal's urgent 55 off 55 balls, including three fours and a six. Karim Janat's energetic 33 off 27 balls and skipper Darwish Rasooli's 24 added to the triumph. Atal, who scored half-hundreds of years in each of the five matches, amassed 368 runs at a normal of 122.66 and a strike pace of 147.79, procuring him the Player of the Competition honor. This triumph marks Afghanistan 'A' group's most memorable title in the T20 configuration of the Arising Asia Cup, mirroring their developing ability in worldwide cricket.
