Afghan captain Asghar Stanikzai opted to bat first but it proved a regrettable decision as his side were toppled for 122. Najibullah and Dawlat Zadran joint top-scored with 25, with four wickets for Wellington Masakadza and three apiece for Luke Jongwe and debutant Tendai Chisoro.
The chase was a formality costing just two wickets, Chamu Chibhabha making 50 and Tinotenda Mutombodzi ending it with a six in just the 24th of a possible 50.
