AFG vs ZIM Final Live Score: Zimbabwe Bowled Out for 169 in UAE Tri-Series Title Decider

Afghanistan star Rashid Khan during the UAE ODI Tri-Series

Zimbabwe were bowled out for 169 in 43.3 overs in the final of the UAE ODI Tri-Series against Afghanistan in Sharjah on Friday, leaving Afghanistan a modest target of 170 to lift the title. Zimbabwe won the toss and elected to bat first but never recovered from a shaky start against Afghanistan's spin-heavy attack.

Rashid Khan was the star of the show, taking 3 wickets for 41 runs in his 10 overs, while veteran Mohammad Nabi chipped in with 2 for 25 from his 10 overs. Zimbabwe's batters struggled to build partnerships on a sluggish Sharjah pitch, with wickets falling at regular intervals throughout the innings.

Afghanistan, one of the strongest limited-overs sides in Asia, will fancy their chances of chasing down 170 and sealing the tri-series trophy. With the game a day-night fixture, the dew factor could make batting easier in the second innings. Cricket fans across Pakistan, Afghanistan and the region are following the live score as the chase gets underway at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium.
