Sikandar Raza had a very special return to the Zimbabwe Test squad with a remarkable performance with the ball on the first day of the second and final Test against Afghanistan at Queens Sports Club.

Sikandar Raza masterclass proved too much for Afghanistan batters

Sikandar had a stellar performance as he shined during Afghanistan’s 1st innings. The 38-year-old off-spinner managed to get rid of the in-form Rahmat Shah who was bowled out while at??tempting a paddle scoop?? on the last delivery of the 30th over. Critically, Shah played an impeccable 234-run knock in the previous Test against Zimbabwe.

Sikandar then bowled out Ismat Alam on a traditional off-spin delivery pitch right in the middle stump, completely beating the lower-order Afghan batter. Alam went back to the pavilion on a duck facing just 2 deliveries. Sikandar’s next target was tailender Yamin Ahmadzai as the arm ball from the off-spinner w?as too much for the Af??ghan No.10. Sikandar’s 3 wickets were instrumental in a determined bowling effort from Zimbabwean bowlers to bowl out the Afghans on 157 runs in just 44.3 overs on Day 1 of the match.

Bowlers dominate as Zimbabwe trail Afghanistan

The 2nd Test between Zimbabwe and Afghanistan in Bulawayo has been a bowler’s game so far. Afghanistan, batting first, could only muster 157 runs, with Rashid Khan’s brisk 25 standing out. Zimbabwe’s bowlers, led by Sikandar and Newman Nyamhuri, took three wickets each, exploiting favorable conditions. In reply, Zimbabwe faltered early, slipping to 41/4 by the first session of Day 2, trailing by 116 runs. Fareed Ahmad and Ahmadzai impressed on their Test debuts, taking two wickets each. Day 1 was marred by wet conditions, leading to a cautious start. With both teams struggling for runs, this low-scoring encounter promises a gripping c?ontest as the game progresses. The onus now lies on Zimbabwe’s middle order to steady the innings and avoid conceding a significant first-innings lead.

As Zimbabwe and Afghanistan lock horns once again in the second and final Test match of the series, the memory of raining runs is still fresh in the minds of both the teams. The Queens Sports Club became??? a paradise for batters of both the teams in the previous encounter, even though the match ended in a draw.

The hosts will look forward to continuing the batting streak they gained in the first Test. Afghanistan, however, disappointed at the outcome of the previo?us Test due to rain on the final day and a brave resistance from Zimbabwean batters, would look forward to claim a series win in Z??imbabwe and end the tour with their heads held high.

Queens Sports Club Pitch Report

The pitch at the Queens Sports Club is expected to remain batting-friendly like the Boxing Day Test. However, as on the final day of the previous Test, a gentle shower from the rain gods can change its nature slightly for this ??Test as well. The pitch is expected to have some turn as the Test match reaches its final days of action. Thus, spin bowlers can cause some trouble to batters as the match progresses.

Weather can play a crucial role in a team’s decision to bat or bowl first after winning the toss. However, given the way pitch has behaved in the previous Test, the team winning the toss will generally tilt towards batting first and exerting scoreboard pressure on the other team.

In a historic performance during the first Test against Zimbabwe at Queens Sports Club, Bulawayo, Afghanistan’s captain Hashmatullah Shahidi achieved a remarkable milestone by scoring his second double century, contributing significantly to his team’s fightback. This achievement comes on the heels of teammate Rahmat Shah, who earlier struck his maiden Test double hundred, leading to an unprecedented partnership ??between the two.

A record-breaking partnership between Rahmat Shah and Hashmatullah Shahidi

Rahmat and Shahidi formed a record 364-run stand, which is now the highest partnership for any wicket in Afghanistan’s Test history. Their efforts helped Afghanistan recover from a challenging position after Zimbabwe posted a formidable total of 586 runs in their first innings.

By the end of lunch on Day 5, Afghanistan were 656 for 4, with Shahidi remaining unbeaten on 236  and Shahidullah Kamal on 10.

Shahidi’s knock not only set a new Afghan record for individual scores in Test cricket but also surpassed Rahmat’s previous record of 234, achieved against Zimbabwe on the fourth day of the ongoing Test. He has so far smashed 20 fours during his stay in the middle, showcasing his dominance at the crease.

With his double century, Shahidi also became the first Afghan player to score two double hundreds in Test cricket, further solidifying his status as one of the key figures in Afghanistan’s batting lineup.

The stage is set for the first Test of the two-match series between Zimbabwe and Afghanistan, scheduled to take place ?at Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo from December 26 to 30. Both teams will be looking to make their mark in the longer format, following contrasting performances in the recently concluded white-ball series.

For Zimbabwe, the Test series offers a fresh start after enduring defeats in both the T20I and ODI formats. The hosts will aim to hit the reset button and put up a stronger fight in red-ball cricket. However, their batting lineup remains a point of concern. The top order struggled to find rhythm in the shorter formats, and they’ll face an equally tough challenge in the Tests. Skipper Craig Ervine will need to lead by example, and the rest of the batting? unit must step up if Zimbabwe hopes to post competitive totals.

Meanwhile, Afghanistan enters the Test series riding a wave of confidence. After dominating the T20I and ODI series, they will be eager to complete a clean sweep of the tour with a triumph in the red-ball format. Captain Hashmatullah Shahidi has effectively led his side, which has shown remarkable consistency across all departments. With momentum on their side, Afghanistan will look to capitalize on their strong form and end the tour on a?? high note.

Afghanistan wrapped up a commanding 8-wicket victory over Zimbabwe in the third and final ODI of their tour at the Harare Sports Club. With this win, Afghanistan secured a 2-0 series triumph after the first game was abandoned due to rain. The performance was highlighted by a dominant bowling display led by 18-year-old Allah Ghazanfar and a composed chase by Afghanistan’s top-order batters.

Zimbabwe’s innings: A struggle for momentum

Opting to bat first after losing the toss, Zimbabwe found themselves in early trouble as the Afghan bowlers exploited the conditions expertly. Zimbabwe’s openers, Joylord Gumbie (3 off 14) and Ben Curran (12 off 31), struggled to get the innings off to a solid start. Craig Ervine’s (5 off 5) brief stay was ended by a sharp delivery from Azmatullah Omarzai.

The only resistance in the Zimbabwean innings came from veteran Sean Williams, who displayed class and resilience with a counterattacking 60 off 61 balls, including 6 fours and 3 towering sixes. Sikandar Raza chipped i??n with 13 off 18, but the rest of the batting lineup faltered under Afghanistan’s relentless attack. Zimbabwe were eventually bowled out for a paltry 127 in 30.1 overs.

All??ah Ghazanfar was the star with the ball, claiming a career-best 5/33 in his full quota of 10 overs. Rashid Khan provided excellent support, taking 3/38 in eight overs, while Fareed Malik and Omarzai picked up a wicket a?piece.

Afghanistan’s chase: Steady and clinical

Chasing 128, Afghanistan’s openers provided a solid foundation. Sediqullah Atal led the charge with a fluent 52 off 50 balls, laced with 4 fours and two sixes. His aggressive approach ensured there were no early jitters for the visitors. Abdul Malik played a patient knock of 29 off 66, holding one end as Afghanistan built a steady partnership.

Rahmat Shah (17 off 23) and captain Hashmatullah Shahidi (20 off 22) ensured there were no hiccups in the chase, with Shahidi sealing the win with a boundary. Afghanistan reached the target in just 26.5 overs, comfortably outpacing Zimbabwe’s paltry total.

For Zimbabwe, Richard Ngarava (1/32) and Trevor Gwandu (1/27) managed to pick up a wicket each, but their efforts were insufficient to halt Afghanistan’s march to victory.

Key takeaways and series wrap-up

Afghanistan’s dominance in the series was evident, particularly in their bowling department, where young talents like Ghazanfar rose to the occasion. Ghazanfar’s match-winning performance in the final ODI capped an impressive series for the visitors.

For Zimbabwe, the series highlighted the need for greater consistency, particularly in their batting lineup, which failed to deliver under pressure. Sean Williams and Sikandar Raza remain their standout players, but the team will need collective improvement as they shift their focus to the Test series starting on Decembe??r 26 at Queens Sports Club.
