Only Test: Ngarava’s Five-for Powers Zimbabwe To First Home Test Win Since 2013
Harare Sports Club: Richard Ngarava produced a spell to remember as Zimbabwe crushed Afghanistan by an innings and 73 runs at the Harare Sports Club to seal their first home Test victory since 2013 and their biggest-ever Test win.
On a decisive third day that lasted less than three hours, Ngarava’s relentless accuracy under overcast skies earned him his maiden five-wicket haul in Tests and helped script an innings triumph — Zimbabwe’s first since 2001.
Captain Craig Ervine handed the new ball to Tanaka Chivanga instead of Blessing Muzarabani, a move that paid off immediately. In his third over, Chivanga had Rahmanullah Gurbaz (9) flicking down the leg side, with wicketkeeper Tafadzwa Tsiga completing a sharp catch. Three overs later, Ngarava struck similarly, removing Ibrahim Zadran for 42, as Tsiga claimed his second dismissal of the morning.
