Pakistan successfully thrashed Afghanistan by (59) runs in the third and final ODI on Saturday at R. Premadasa Stadium to complete the series whitewash.

Riaz Hassan and Shahidullah were the top-scorer for Afghanistan with their scores of (34) and (37), but it was not enough for Afghanistan to chase down the total, thus, losing the game by (59) runs. This series victory will give huge confidence to Pakistan moving into the Asia Cup.
