Zimbabwe A surrender series

Zimbabwe A lost their third game on the trot yesterday to surrender the five-match unofficial one-day international cricket series against touring Afghanistan with two matches to be played.

Afghanistan A clinched a 20-run victory and with that win claimed the series, which is being played at Harare Sports Club.

Despite a spirited fight by the young Zimbabwe batting line-up, the 280-run victory target set by the Afghanistan A batsmen proved too big a task.
