For England, Tazeem Ali shone with figures of 3/45 while Sebastian Morgan and Dominic Kelly took a couple of wickets each, icc-cricket.com reported.Skipper Ben McKinney started well for England, but Afghanistan's trump card, 16-year-old Allah Mohammad Ghazanfar, who has been likened to Mujeeb ur Rahman, sent back three of the top four batters to dent England.Kelly launched a fightback from No.7, with Eddie Jack making a useful 36, including three sixes, from No.10, but Ghazanfar took his wicket as England were bowled out for 171.The star for Afghanistan was Ghazanfar, who finished with a five-wicket haul to spell a major warning for Group D teams.
Bashir Ahmad and Khalil Ahmad also picked up two wickets apiece for Afghanistan as they notched up a confidence-boosting win.Afghanistan's next warm-up match will be against South Africa on Tuesday.
