Zimbabwe 169 (Raza 68, Rashid 3-41, Nabi 2-25, Sami 2-27) vs Afghanistan
Afghanistan's sensational catching complemented their accurate bowling as they bowled Zimbabwe out for 169 in the tri-series final in Sharjah. Given their batting form in the tournament so far, Afghanistan will be expected to chase down the total quite easily.
Rashid Khan starred with 3 for 41 for Afghanistan, but it was once again their pace trio and the veteran Mohammad Nabi who combined to take the first six wickets before Rashid got his first. Nabi, Fazalhaq Farooqi and Bilal Sami took two wickets each.
Only Sikandar Raza stood firm for Zimbabwe, with the captain making 68. He struck three sixes and as many fours in his 83-ball stay. Raza is now the first batter aged 40 years or more to score a fifty in an ODI tournament final.
