...Presentation time...
Earlier, United Arab Emirates were 120/1 and were looking for a score around 180 but Afghanistan pulled them back to keep around 160. It was not enough as Afghanistan won comfortably. As said before, the fielding was too below par but a good learning curve for United Arab Emirates.
It was not a one-way game as Afghanistan were struggling with the bat. They got a good start but kept on losing wickets. At one stage, looked like this game will go down the wire but Zadran did well to stay till the deep and Janat went absolutely  bonkers as he came out with intent and different ideas to score in quick time and score a match-winning fifty.
United Arab Emirates will be disappointed! At the halfway mark the game was poised and tilted toward UAE. There was some assist from the pitch as well but were too ordinary on the field. They even dropped Zadran who went onto anchor the innings. The total they got was enough and could have won if they didn't drop those catches.
What a knock by Janat! A special, special knock by the man! He was on a mission and Afghanistan have won the series as well. United Arab Emirates were almost there but too many dropped catches and extras didn't help them. However, they gave a good fight and made this series very interesting. Afghanistan were the favorites and have won it.
