Half centuries from Andri Berenger and Shaiman Anwar earlier helped the UAE to a total of 258-9 after being put into bat by the visitors.
Berenger’s 66 came from 72 balls, and included a 66 run partnership with Krishna Karate for the third wicket to set their side up for a highly competitive total.
Anwar’s 51 came at a near run a ball and included 6 fours and two maximums.
The UAE’s total ended up more than enough and Aaqib Javed’s charges , without captain Khurram Khan, bowled the Afghanis out for 228 with three balls to spare.
Kamran Shahzad (3-45) and Rohan Mustafa (3-42) were the pick of the UAE bowlers.
The result meant that the UAE claim the four match series 3-1.
