The third and final game of the ODI series between Afghanistan and Netherlands will be played on Tuesday, January 25th. West End Park International Cricket Stadium in Doha will host this contest.

The Afghan side have already sealed the series and the Netherlands will be looking for a consolation win.

It was a complete performance from the Afghan side in the second game of the series. Skipper Hashmatullah Shahidi won the toss and opted to bat first.

On the back of a fantastic century from Rahmanullah Gurbaz, they posted 237 on the board, losing six wickets. He was well-supported by Shahidi who scored 54. The Dutch bowlers bounced back in the later stages of the innings to restrict them to a total below 250.

The Dutch batters tried hard and Scott Edwards at the top of the order scored 86 but he ultimately lacked support from the other end. They kept losing wickets at regular intervals and eventually were cleaned up on 189, losing the game by 48 runs.

The Afghan bowlers bowled brilliantly, with Mujeeb-ur-Rahman picking up four wickets as they sealed the series with one game to go. The Netherlands have to be on their toes to finish the series on a high and avoid a whitewash.
