Opener Ibrahim Zadran has struck an unbeaten 95 to help Afghanistan to a crushing 82-run win over Canada and cap off an otherwise disappointing T20 World Cup on a high.**

Zadran hit seven fours and five sixes in his 56-ball knock to steer Afghanistan to 200-4 after being invited to bat first in Chennai.

Afghanistan bowlers led by veteran spinner Mohammad Nabi, with his T20 best figures of 4-7, kept Canada down to 118-8 for their second win in the 20-team tournament.
