The national cricket team on Sunday night defeated Zimbabwe by 81 runs in the second T20 clash with Mohammad Shahzad ending with 118 not out for Afghanistan.
Afghanistan batted first setting a target of 216 but Zimbabwe was bowled out for 134 with 11 balls to spare.
Shahzad triumphed for the Afghan team. The 27-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman, batted through the innings for an unbeaten 118 from 67 balls, hitting 10 fours and eight sixes as they posted 215-6.
Zimbabwe was bowled out for 134 with 11 balls to spare after their opener Hamilton Masakadza hit five sixes in his 63.
Afghanistan, who became the first non-Test-playing country to win a multi-game ODI series against a Test side when they beat Zimbabwe last year, is now ranked higher than them by the International Cricket Council in both T20 and ODI cricket.
Afghanistan also secured the one-day international series in Sharjah 3-2.
They have won eight and lost six ODIs against Zimbabwe, and won all four of their meetings in T20 cricket.
The sides will meet again in March, having been drawn together in Group B of the first round of the ICC World Twenty20 in India.
