So that's it from us! It was an interesting ODI series and Afghanistan proved their mettle once again. They will now head to Greater Noida, India where they are scheduled to take on Ireland for a 3-match T20I series as well as a 5-match ODI series in March. On the other hand, the Zimbabwean side will look to practice hard at home and improve their skills. We hope you enjoyed our coverage. Till then, goodbye and cheers!
Rahmat Shah bags the Man of the Match award. He scored a sensible half century and set up the game for Afghanistan.
Each Afghani bowler was disciplined and bowled probing lines and lengths. Amir Hamza and Mohammad Nabi were the pick of the bowlers with 3 wickets apiece. The Zimbabwe side withered under pressure and surrendered to the tourists. Nothing to speak about their batting as there weren't any noteworthy performances. So, Afghanistan maintain their clean record of winning every bilateral ODI series against Zimbabwe and are thoroughly the deserved winners.
AFGHANISTAN WIN BY 106 runs to seal the 5-match ODI series 3-2. It was complete domination by the Afghani side to rattle down the hosts after the target for Zimbabwe was revised to 161 from 22 overs due to rain (According to DLS method). They got bowled out for 54 which happens to be their fourth lowest total in ODI cricket. Only 2 of their batsmen managed to get into double figures. That speaks volumes about the way the visitors bowled but it also exposes the fact that the home side lacks big hitters.

After 10 overs, Zimbabwe are staring down the barrel at 38/7 chasing 161 in 22 overs via DLS method. The amazing diving catch taken by Najibullah Zadran at short cover of Musakanda was hands down the standout event in this short passage of play. The pressure of the stiff target has got the better of them and they have thrown their wickets away in hunt of quick runs. It was always going to be a difficult prospect for the hosts as they do not have big hitters in their ranks. The Afghani bowlers have been spot on and Mohammad Nabi is having a gem of a match. After playing a good knock with the bat, he has taken two wickets so far. It seems to be a matter of time before the Afghanis close down the Zimbabwean side. Only a miracle can turn it around for the home side from here.
