Afghanistan Defeat Zimbabwe by Nine Runs to Clinch T20 Series 3-0
Afghanistan and Zimbabwe played a cricket game on Sunday.
Afghanistan batted first and scored a lot of runs, especially thanks to two players who put together a really big partnership at the start.
Zimbabwe then tried to score even more runs, and they got close with some good hitting from their captain and another player.
However, Afghanistan's bowlers did a great job and managed to get the last Zimbabwean player out on the very last ball, winning them the game by a small amount.
This win meant Afghanistan won all three games in the series.
Afghanistan secured a nine-run victory over Zimbabwe in their final T20 match, winning the series 3-0.
A 159-run opening partnership between Rahmanullah Gurbaz (92) and Ibrahim Zadran (60) powered Afghanistan to 210-3.
Sediqullah Atal contributed an unbeaten 35 for Afghanistan.
Zimbabwe's chase saw strong performances from opener Brian Bennett (47) and captain Sikandar Raza (51), who built an 85-run partnership.
Zimbabwe was bowled out for 201 on the final delivery of the match.
