AFG vs ZIM 2026: Top 3 Performers in UAE T20Is

Afghanistan completed a commanding 3-0 T20I series sweep over Zimbabwe at Sharjah Cricket Stadium in the UAE, with matches played on October 27, October 29 and November 1, 2026. The result extended Afghanistan’s winning run against Zimbabwe to seven consecutive T20I victories.

Across the three matches, several Afghan players produced standout contributions with both bat and ball. Here are the three performers who shaped the series most decisively.

3. Noor Ahmad

Noor Ahmad had a contrasting series. In the 1st T20I on October 27, he conceded 28 runs in three overs and was subsequently left out of the playing XI for the 2nd T20I. However, the Afghans recalled him for the 3rd T20I on November 1, and he responded with a remarkable turnaround. Bowling against Zimbabwe, who were bowled out for just 79, Noor returned figures of 5/13 — his best in T20I cricket and his maiden five-wicket haul at this level. The 21-year-old spinner was named the Player of the Match for that decisive performance, which helped Afghanistan seal the series 3-0 with 71 balls to spare.
