Afghanistan boost CWC27 build-up with stellar tri-series win

Sharjah, Oct 24 (UNI) Afghanistan continued their confident run in the tri-series with another remarkable win, this time in the final against Zimbabwe.

Sikandar Raza elected to bat first, but Zimbabwe's batting never got going, with Raza (68) and Ryan Burl (31), the only batters to show some resistance in the middle-order.
