Leg-spinner Shafiqullah Ghaffari wreaked havoc with figures of 6/15 as Afghanistan shocked hosts South Africa by seven wickets in the opening game of the ICC U-19 World Cup here today. Opting to bat, South Africa were bundled out for 129 in 29.1 overs, with only three players — Bryce Parsons (40), Luke Beaufort (25) and Gerald Coetzee (38) — getting into the double figures. In reply, Afghanistan knocked off the runs in 25 overs, riding on half-centuries from Ibrahim Zadran (52) and Imran (57). Brief scores: SA U-19: 129 in 29.1 overs (Brye Parsons 40; Shafiqullah Ghaffari 6/15); Afghanistan U-19: 130/3 in 25 overs (Ibrahim Zadran 57, Imran 52)

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
