They cruised well in the entire run-chase and crossed the\u00a0line with seven wickets in hand and 11 balls to spare.\u00a0Sediqullah, who has been added to the T20I squad for the Bangladesh series, went back unbeaten for run-a-ball 55.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sri Lanka did not had many runs to play with. The two-time champions were restricted to 133\/7 as Afghanistan A bowlers &#8211; Bilal Sami and\u00a0Allah Ghazanfar shared five wickets at mingy rates. Sri Lanka International\u00a0Sahan Arachchige was stellar for his 64 from 47 balls but apart from him, no other batters contributed much.<\/p>\n<p>Afghanistan A were\u00a0dominant in the entire tournament.
