Afghanistan register commanding 62-run win over Sri Lanka
Afghanistan registered a comfortable 62-run win over Sri Lanka in the 3rd match of the U-19 Tri-Series worked off on Wednesday (22) at Tolerance Oval in Abu Dhabi.
The Afghan skipper won the toss and elected to bat. They were off to a shaky start and were reduced to 93 for 4.
A 135-run partnership for the fifth wicket between Haroon Khan and Khalid Taniwal regained momentum towards them. Haroon Khan was the anchor of the partnership top scoring with 88 runs off just 57 balls, while Khalid Taniwal contributed with a watchful 45 runs to put the host into a strong position.
At one stage it looked like the Afghans would settle for a score between 250-260, but a late surge by Kamran Hotak with a quick-fire 43 off 33 deliveries helped them reach a competitive total of 298 runs before being all out in 49.2 overs.
Duvindu Ranatunga (4-51) and Dinura Kalupahana (3-13) were the picks of the bowlers for Sri Lanka, taking four and three wickets respectively.
In reply, the islanders were off to a similar start losing half of their top order cheaply. With the scoreboard reading 150-8, it looked like the young Afghan team was on their way to a commanding victory. Still, Duvindu Ranathunga and Traveen Mathew had other plans as they put on a 74-run partnership for the 9th wicket to frustrate the Afghan bowlers. However, their efforts were too little too late to take the team over the line.
Sineth Jayawardena (41) and Vishwa Rajapaksha (45) also contributed with useful knocks from the top order.
Kamran Hotak was the architect of Sri Lanka’s collapse as he ended up with figures of 4-29.

Mohamed Sahi Transfer Dispute Deepens: Two Clubs, Two Contracts – One Confusing Reality
Fresh details reveal dual agreements, silent acceptance, and a looming registration problem ahead of the Champions League
Colombo – June 17, 2025:
The player registration controversy surrounding Mohamed Sahi has intensified, as newly uncovered information confirms the existence of two separate agreements signed by the player — one with New Star SC and another with Crystal Palace FC Gampola, both for the 2025/26 season.
The Timeline of Conflict
- On January 15, 2025, Mohamed Sahi received a release from his former club Eravur YSS, stating that he would be joining Crystal Palace FC.
- This release letter was shared via WhatsApp with Crystal Palace, but the original document was handed over to New Star SC, who then registered the player for the 2025/26 season based on a contract signed on January 16 for LKR 85,000.
- Later in February, Sahi went on to sign another contract — this time with Crystal Palace FC, reportedly for LKR 215,000, including two advance payments: LKR 35,000 and LKR 45,000 to his father’s account.
This sequence raises serious concerns about whether the player fully understood his obligations or whether both clubs failed to clarify the status of the original registration.
Crystal Palace Questions: Silence from New Star
Despite publicly announcing the signing of Mohamed Sahi on social media in February, New Star SC remained silent. No objections were raised until the issue surfaced during I League scrutiny.
This inaction has sparked public questions:
- Why didn’t New Star respond immediately if the player was already under contract with them?
- Was there an oversight, or did they expect the issue to resolve quietly?
I League vs Champions League Impact
While the situation has had no direct impact on the I League, given that New Star SC registered the player first and the I League is an invitational tournament not governed by the FFSL, Sahi only featured under New Star during the competition. However, the matter gains greater significance in the lead-up to the Sri Lanka Champions League, where both New Star SC and Crystal Palace FC are reported to have submitted player registrations for Mohamed Sahi, potentially triggering a registration conflict.
This raises the risk of:
- Duplicate entries under the same player ID
- Last-minute disqualifications or disputes
- Administrative confusion for tournament organizers
A Potential Settlement?
In an attempt to ease tensions, sources close to New Star SC have confirmed that Mohamed Sahi is willing to return the advance payment made by Crystal Palace FC to resolve the financial element of the issue amicably.
Final Word
While this incident is unlikely to influence the I League outcome, it exposes a flaw in inter-club communication and registration coordination. With the Champions League approaching, resolving these overlaps is essential to avoid technical complications or eligibility issues.
