  "account": "Afghanistan and Zimbabwe clash in the third T20I in Sharjah, with the series already decided. Afghanistan's Azmatullah Omarzai scored an unbeatable 116 off 50 balls, including twelve sixes, while Ijaz Ahmad Ahmadzai contributed a record 142-run partnership. Zimbabwe managed 202 for 5 in their chase, falling short by 19 runs. Sikandar Raza and debutant Tafadzwa Tsiga helped Zimbabwe reach the total, but the damage had been done. Rashid Khan became the first bowler to reach 200 men's T20I wickets for Afghanistan. The second T20I saw Afghanistan climb from 45 for 5 to 221 for 7. Sharjah has a history of rewarding big hitters, so expect another high-scoring match. TSN predictions favor Afghanistan to win.
