That is all from this game. Afghanistan seal the series and have been bossing the tour for now. Hashmatullah Shahidi has been handed over the trophy. Time for Test series to unfold. Join us on the 26th of this month for the first game at 8 am GMT and earlier for the build up. Till then, cheers!
Hashmatullah Shahidi says he is happy with how the team performed. Tells they did well in all departments and every individual took the responsibility. AM Ghazanfar bowled well and hopes he does well in the future. Feels the senior players are helping the youngsters to settle. Tells it is a good chance to take this momentum to the Champions trophy.
Craig Ervine says they found batting effort in the series. Credits the way Afghanistan bowled. Shares they are trying to improve, they tried to show some intent but it didn't work out. Tells they are looking forward to the Test series.
Sediqullah Atal wins the Player of the Series award. He says the teammate supported him in this series. Tells he tries to be consistent. Mentions it was a good pitch to bat and had good bounce on it.
AM Ghazanfar wins the Player of the Match award.
...Presentation...
In reply, their openers put up another good stand which almost took them to the win. They did lose a couple of wickets but Shahidi and Shah ensured they finished the game without losing any wickets. The bowlers have been the main architect for Afghanistan throughout the series so far. Fazalhaq Farooqi in the second game. AM Ghazanfar and Rashid Khan today and Azmatullah Omarzai throughout the three games.
Another comprehensive win for the visitors and they have won the series 2-0 without breaking a sweat! The seal was actually dealt in the first innings when they bowled Zimbabwe out for a very low score.
