Afghan batsmen fell from the sky and dripped on dates, Rashid Khan felt embarrassed after 2 days of scoring a mountain-like score…

New Delhi. The Afghan batsmen, who created history a few days ago, were defeated by the Zimbabwean bowlers on Thursday.

Zimbabwe bowled out Afghanistan for 157 runs on the very first day of the second test. Afghanistan had scored 699 on 30 December.

The second test match between hosts Zimbabwe and Afghanistan is being played in Bulawayo. Thursday’s play on the first day of the match was largely affected by rain. Not a single over was played in the first session of the match and lunch break had to be taken. If Indra Dev rained in the first session, then Zimbabwe’s bowlers wreaked havoc in the second and third sessions. Thanks to its excellent bowling, the host team bowled out Afghanistan for 157 runs in 44.3 overs.

Afghanistan’s batsmen had scored two double centuries and one century in the first test match, but the top scorer in the second test was Rashid Khan who scored 25 runs.
