Afghanistan is aiming for a possible date with Zimbabwe early next year, while the two countries will now enter the test world with the first Irish test against Pakistan in Malawi in May 2018.

Despite the 21 consecutive overpasses in three days with 146 consecutive bases of Rohan Mustafa and Chirag Suri, Rashid's appeal began to bear fruit in the last morning. Saqlain Haider shaved the pads with three men around the bat. Javed Ahmadi juggled for a while before trapping the ball between his legs with short legs to secure Ragshid's first turnstile 11 as overhead.

Rameez Shahzad fought with games to establish the UAE middle order and expand the game as much as possible to regularly clean up the boundaries between Rashid and Zahir Khan. But Zahir finally drove Rameez forward. Nevertheless, the UAE can rebuild Afghanistan's bats, require 17 runs and fight with a final draw before five wickets have lunch.

Rashid, however, used three turnstiles on both sides of the gap to create a sensation. Muhammad Usman's interior blew a flat foot sting on his stump for 28 seconds. Ahmed Raza survived a big appeal for lbw on his first ball in the crease, but slipped to Nabi on the next ball. After resuming lunch and the first ball, Amjad Javed stepped on the wrong line, trapping four balls in front of Rashid's third turnstile.

Afghanistan suddenly saw his favorite player for five consecutive victories in the tournament, but the nasty Hawk across the legside of Adnan Mufti caused Afghanistan to face its nominal goal. Mufti eventually gave the wicket Afsar Zazai an edge, giving Nabi the second wicket of innings. Rashid only needed two balls to beat 11-time Amir Hayat with the fifth wicket in the inning. Surprisingly, it means Rashid has finished 5th class each in 4th class so far since he made his 4th debut in England last December.

With only 19 people in Afghanistan, the UAE fought hardly a short time after the first appearance of the innings that Hayat could see, and after the third place discrete Nura finished fifth in the Hyatt on the second slip. Ihsanullah eventually won the sixth by swiping from Ahmed Raza to Midwick.

In the Desert T20 Challenge finals, Pitch was raided after Afghanistan defeated Ireland against 10 wickets in front of 15,000 fans in the UAE 11 months ago, but the celebration for this event was a bit muted. But as the Asghar Stanikzai captain handed the Intercontinental Cup silverware to the crowd, the 500 fans who participated in the event were fully accepted as part of the celebration. For days, a larger test that has been proven against the highest level Associate world through cricket awaits.
