That's all from the match today. I'm Saiprasad Kagne on the behalf of my co-commentators Ovaise Shariff and Shantanu Yargattikar and scorer/analyst Dushyant Kumar signing off from the coverage officially. We will meet again with the live coverage of further games in the future. Till then, Good Bye and Take Care !!!
Rahmat Shah (Man of the Series): Looking into the importance of the series, we wanted to win all three and have done it quite well. Before coming here, we had a camp in Abu Dhabi and we came here a little earlier, which has helped us a lot, getting familiar with the playing conditions.
Rashid Khan (Man of the Match): I think it was all about the bowling unit this series, we just kept things simple, hit the right areas. Mujeeb, the way he bowled, the way Fareed and Fazal started the innings, made things easier for us. It was a difficult surface to bat on, you had to be fully prepared and work hard on areas to score at. We bowled in the right areas and so did they, but as a batting unit, we took responsibility this series, very happy with that. Looking forward to the next series.
Craig Ervine (Zimbabwe Captain): The wicket today was the toughest and the bowlers came out fighting which gave them a small chance. States the bowlers were good and the batting was decent in the parts. Adds they need to come up with a solution, they do not have a lot of time but they need to. Credits Blessing for the way he bowled today.
Hashmatullah Shahidi (Afghanistan captain): Proud moment for me and also proud of the way the team played. Tough time while I was batting, it was not an easy pitch!! But I will take those for my country. Our aim was to take 30 points from these games, now we are second in the World Super League series. Nabi, Rashid played well today, very happy with that. Nabi is the captain of the T20I team, I wish him the best of luck.
7:22 IST | Review: Nabi finishes off in style here. With this massive Six over mid-wicket region, Afghanistan won by 4 wickets and cleans up the series by 3-0 as well. Earlier in the day, Afghanistan won the toss and elected to bowl first. Zimbabwe gets all out and they put 135 runs on the board. However, with another 50-60 runs the game could have well been different.
From the first innings, Sikandar Raza was the only warrior from Zimbabwe with his brilliant 38 runs off 77 balls which includes 2 handsomely driven boundaries along the ground. Whereas, from Afghanistan bowlers, Rashid Khan picked up 3 valuable wickets, Nabi and Fazalhaq ended up their spells with 2-2 wickets each.
For Afghanistan in the second innings, Nabi and Shahidi stepped up as their two batters performing extremely well throughout their innings. Like Zimbabwe, they also keep losing wickets here but these two decent knocks is what it took for their side to get over the line.
However, Muzarabani and Chatara were brilliant with the new ball today. They picked up some early breakthroughs for the side. Burl and Myers also get a wicket but it was a bit late in the game. It was their batters who let them down as they were bundled out for a very low score in the first innings.
