A runout at non-striker's end stole the show in the New Zealand vs Afghanistan low-scoring thriller at Buffalo Park in East London on Tuesday.

It was a Group D match of the ongoing U19 World Cup in South Africa. Afghanistan spinner Naseer Khan Maroofkhil ran out New Zealand's Ewald Schreuder as the latter was short of his crease at the non-striker's end.

Before Naseer, a slow left-arm orthodox bowler, could release the delivery out of his hand, Schreuder was out of his crease.

Naseer was quick to clip off the bails in time by stopping mid-way during his bowling. Batter Schreuder was visibly unhappy with the dismissal. Watch it here: A post shared by ICC (@icc) "Ashwin anna must be proud of this kid," read a comment in the video. "This rule against sprit of cricket," read another another comment. "Nice, early life lesson for them to stay inside the crease," wrote a fan. "Hate this rule," was also among comments.
