AFG VS ZIM - 3rd ODI, Afghanistan v Zimbabwe in UAE, 2018

That's it from us today. See you for the fourth ODI.

Stanikzai, Afghanistan captain: Today we had a different plan, for me to come down the order. Last two games I hadn't performed well. In the first ten overs, Dawlat and Museeb bowled very well. After that Rashid bowled very well. Museeb is a young guy. Very good talent, has a lot of confidence. Rashid showed his ability today again. Credit to Rahmat and Nasir with the bat too.

Cremer, Zimbabwe captain: We were outplayed. Afghanistan bowled very well, obviously Rashid. Some soft wickets from us. We thought if those two (Ervine and Raza) could bat 20-30 overs, it would give us a nice platform. But it wasn't to be. Series definitely alive. Two days before the next game to go back and refresh. Can speak about a few different options we can use. Have to be tougher with the bat.

Rashid Khan, MoM: They were different, but I just wanted to bowl wicket to wicket. Just did the basics right. Doing nothing special in the nets. Bowling according to the wicket. Last game was a bad day for us. Plan was to do the basics right. Just wanted to improve our skills. Ervine was the favourite wicket.

19:40 Local Time, 15:40 GMT, 21:10 IST: Crushing win for Afghanistan, set up by their star spinner Rashid Khan, who derailed Zimbabwe with a five-for. Thereafter, they just had to ensure that the batsmen kept their minds. Fifties from Rahmat Shah and Nasir Jamal ensured that they did as they led Afghanistan's cruise to the target. Very abject performance from Zimbabwe as they descend back into misery after the highs of the previous win. Stay tuned for the presentations..
