Afghanistan and Zimbabwe will meet in the third and final T20I on November 1, 2026, at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in Sharjah. Afghanistan have already sealed the series with an unassailable 2-0 lead and will now target a clean sweep. Zimbabwe, meanwhile, will aim to bounce back and finish the tour with a consolation victory. The match will begin at 8:00 PM IST, setting the stage for an exciting contest.
Afghanistan enter the final fixture after recording a convincing 19-run victory in the second T20I, posting an impressive 221/7 in 20 overs. Azmatullah Omarzai delivered a sensational performance, smashing 116 off just 50 balls with five fours and 12 sixes. Ijaz Ahmad Ahmadzai also made a valuable contribution with 52 off 27 deliveries, while Rashid Khan provided a late boost through an unbeaten 25 from just six balls. In reply, Zimbabwe managed 202/5, with captain Sikandar Raza leading the fight through an outstanding unbeaten 106 off 56 balls, including five fours and nine sixes. Tafadzwa Tsiga offered further resistance with an unbeaten 31 off 23 deliveries, but Zimbabwe ultimately fell short. Abdullah Ahmadzai claimed two wickets, while Rashid Khan and Azmatullah Omarzai picked up one each.
Although Afghanistan have already secured the series, they will look to carry their winning momentum into the final match with another strong all-round performance. Omarzai’s remarkable century and Ijaz Ahmad Ahmadzai’s aggressive batting have strengthened their top order, while Rashid Khan continues to provide valuable experience with the ball. However, Zimbabwe can draw confidence from Raza’s outstanding form and will need their other batters to support him more effectively. The Sharjah surface encouraged attacking batting in the previous encounter, so another high-scoring contest could be on the cards. Nevertheless, Zimbabwe must improve their bowling discipline and make better use of their batting opportunities to challenge the hosts. Given their consecutive victories and stronger overall performances, Afghanistan remain favourites to complete a 3-0 series sweep.
