Gurbaz (101 off 120) was virtually unstoppable at the top of the order and smashed his eighth ODI ton to keep the visitors ahead of the eight ball in their pursuit of a 245-run target. Once Gurbaz was dismissed, Omarzai (70 not out off 77) took charge and stayed there till the very end alongside veteran all-rounder Mohammad Nabi.

Earlier, a pivotal 145-run partnership between stand-in captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz (66 off 119 balls) and Mahmudullah (98 off 98) rescued the Bangla Tigers from a tricky position and propelled them to a respectable 244-run total in Sharjah. Azmatullah Omarzai did the star turn for Afghanistan with the ball, claiming four wickets for just 37 runs.
