Dhaka, Sept. 20 -- Hamilton Masakadza's star performance with the bat in his last international appearance helped Zimbabwe beat high-flying Afghanistan by seven wickets on Friday.

The match of the ongoing Tri-series T20 was played at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram.

With this win, Zimbabwe beat Afghanistan in the shortest form of international cricket for the first time. In the previous eight games, Afghanistan beat Zimbabwe.

At the same time, this defeat also ended Afghanistan's run of most consecutive wins in T20Is. They won 12 of their previous T20Is, which is the world record for winning most T20Is consecutively.

This match will be remembered as the last international game of Masakadza, who started playing for Zimbabwe...
