Rahmanullah Gurbaz hit a cracking century and Azmatullah Omarzai showed allround skills on Monday to give Afghanistan a five wicket victory in the third one-day international and a series win over Bangladesh.

(Reuters) -Afghanistan batter Rahmanullah Gurbaz's electrifying century and Azmatullah Omarzai's all-around performance crushed Bangladesh in Sharjah as their side claimed a thrilling five-wicket win on Monday to secure a 2-1 victory in the one-day series.

Bangladesh's stand-in captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz won the toss against Afghanistan in the third ODI in Sharjah, and opted to bat first. Mehidy was leading the side in place of the regular captain Najmul Hossain Shanto, whose groin injury has not only ruled him out of this match but also from the upcoming Tests against West Indies.
