Full commentary
What an unbelievable chase from the Afghans, they richly deserve this win after bowling superbly yesterday.
The players shake hands and the Afghans are jubilant. This has been a gripping match throughout, one dominated by the ball but brilliant nonetheless
For Afghanistan the star was Noor Ali with the bat today with a patiently compiled 56. Cameos from Raees, Ashgar, Mirwais and Samiullah ensured they reached their target.
For the Dutch, who dominated the first two days, Schiferli was outstanding with match figures of 7-66. Peter Borren also had a fine match making 20 and 63 and taking figures of 3-21 and 1-33
Credit must also be given to Tom de Grooth who made a fine 54 on the first day in very difficult conditions
Thank you for joining me these past few days, it has been a wonderful cricket match. But for now, this is Harry Dobson saying goodbye from the VRA Ground. Please join us on Sunday for the 1st of 2 One-Day Internationals starting at 9am GMT

Shapoor doesn't play a shot and is taken on the back pad. No doubt there, a superb bit of bowling! Schiferli grabs 5 and this match takes another turn!
