After capturing some famous victories and running eventual winners Australia close during the one-day international tournament last October and November, Afghanistan's decision to seal the series ahead of the final game ought to come as no surprise. They have improved in all disciplines, and now have the opportunity to establish themselves as a major player ahead of next year's ICC Champions Trophy. Afghanistan has two players Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Rashid Khan who are still young but have a lot of experience and consistently deliver world-class performances.
