Afghanistan and Zimbabwe were engaged in a two-match Test series on the home turf of the African nation. After a dull draw in run-fest during the first Test, Afghanistan turned the tides in the second match. With the win in the second and last match of the series, Afghainstan have registered a historic series win.

Zimbabwe won the toss in the second match and put Afghanistan to bat. The Asian team failed to show much resistance in their first innings, as they were bundled out for just 157 in 44.3 overs.

In reply to Afghainstan's total, Zimbabwe scored 243 runs and took a sizeable lead. However, in the second innings, Afghanistan came up with a resilient approach and scored 363 runs to set a target of 278 for the home team. 

Zimbabwe could have registered a win in the game with a proper show of resilience and resolution. However, they were struck by a Rashid Khan storm. The Afghan champion bowled a magical spell, destroying the Zimbabwean batting line-up singled-handedly.

Rashid Magic Leaves Zimbabwe Baffled

Rashid Khan finished the second innings with figures of 7/66 from 27.3 overs. The Zimbabwean batters had no reply to Rashid's magic.

While Khan was seen celebrating all his wickets, he was particularly animated after he sent Craig Ervine packing. The Zimbabwean skipper had scored 53 runs off 102 balls by then and could have powered the winning effort for the team home. It was important for Afghanistan to get his wicket, and their skipper provided him with exactly that.
