Man of the Match - Raees Ahmadzai

 Afghanistan defeated Nepal today in the final of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) Trophy Elite 2010 by 95 runs at Hubara Ground in Kuwait to become the ACC Champions and win their first ACC Trophy. 

The Man of the Match Award went to Raees Ahmadzai.  Ahmadzai said that during lunch, their coach Kabir Khan stood over them and told them not too eat too much, so that they will have the hunger for victory, for glory, for proof of their excellence.  

Both teams were very evenly matched, but Afghanistan’s bowlers and fielders really pushed themselves in order to ensure victory for Afghanistan. There were more than 4000 people in attendance watching the final match between Nepal and Afghanistan. 

Now it’s the ICC World Twenty20 for the Afghan team – just three and a half weeks from now.
