Afghanistan live to fight another day after Nepal's five-wicket victory over Hong Kong in Bulawayo yesterday sent them through to the Super Six stage.
Hong Kong needed to win to go through themselves and were hopeful of stealing the win when they reduced Nepal to 66 for 5 in pursuit of only 154 for victory.
