Zadran also highlighted the team's collective effort, saying everyone played well together.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz, the Player of the Match, attributed their success to the team's plan to go deep and build a strong partnership. He praised his opening partner, Ibrahim Zadran, saying their communication and understanding is special. Gurbaz also mentioned he had been struggling to score big lately but was happy with his performance today, contributing to the win.

Presentation ...
Abdullah Ahmadzai was the star with the ball for Afghanistan, claiming 3/42, while Fareed Malik and Fazalhaq Farooqi chipped in with two wickets each. The spin duo of Mohammad Nabi and Mujeeb Ur Rahman also contributed, picking up one wicket each. This win marks Afghanistan's third consecutive T20I series whitewash over Zimbabwe, solidifying their reputation as a force to be reckoned with in the format.
Chasing down a massive total set by the visitors, Zimbabwe's top order stumbled, Dion Myers and Brian Bennett getting off to a slow start. However, Sikandar Raza and Brian Bennett steadied the ship with an 85-run partnership. Raza's 51 and Bennett's 47 kept Zimbabwe in contention. Ryan Burl's scintillating 37 gave Zimbabwe a glimmer of hope, but Mujeeb's canny bowling for Burl's wicket proved to be the turning point. Despite a late fightback, Zimbabwe fell short, all out for 201.
Afghanistan have etched another feather in their cap with a thrilling 9-run victory over Zimbabwe, sealing a 3-0 whitewash in the T20I series. Opting to bat first, Afghanistan's openers Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran set the tone with a 159-run partnership. Gurbaz's explosive 92 and Zadran's 60 helped Afghanistan post a mammoth 210, which turns out to be more than enough for the visitors to inflict a whitewash.
