Rashid Khan
Captain Sean Williams was unbeaten on 151 as Rashid Khan's seven-wicket haul helped Afghanistan dismiss Zimbabwe for 365 on Day 5 of the second Test on Sunday at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium. Afghanistan need 108 runs to win the Test and level the two-match series.
Zimbabwe started the second session on 330/8 and Afghanistan took 12 overs to take the last two wickets. Rashid took the last wicket, having bowled as many as 62.5 overs in the innings. Earlier, a partnership of 187 runs between Williams and Donald Tiripano helped Zimbabwe escape an innings defeat and even gave them a chance at drawing the match.
Zimbabwe are chasing a first Test series win since 2011.
