Afghanistan have had a 106-run victory over Zimbabwe in a rain-affected fifth one-day international in Harare to claim a 3-2 series triumph.

Afghanistan claimed a 3-2 series triumph over Zimbabwe with a crushing 106-run victory in a rain-affected fifth one-day international in Harare.

The tourists, who had seen a 2-0 lead in the series wiped out, made 253 for nine off their 50 overs with Rahmat Shah (50), Mohammad Nabi (48) and Noor Ali Zadran (46) making solid contributions.

Rain saw Zimbabwe's target revised to 161 off 22 overs on Duckworth-Lewis method, but they never got close.

Only captain Graeme Cremer (14 not out) and Ryan Burl (11) got into double figures as the hosts were skittled for 54 inside 14 overs, with Amir Hamza and Nabi claiming three wickets each.
