    1st Test: Rahmat Shah's Record 231 Sparks Afghanistan's Fightback Vs Zimbabwe

    By IANS News December 28, 2024 • 21:50 PM View: 1070
    Queens Sports Club: Afghanistan’s Rahmat Shah etched his name into record books with an unbeaten 231, the highest individual score in Afghanistan’s Test history, on the third day of the first Test against Zimbabwe here on Saturday. His monumental innings, coupled with captain Hashmatullah Shahidi’s 141 not out, powered Afghanistan to a dominant 425/2 at stumps, leaving them just 161 runs behind Zimbabwe’s massive first-innings total of 586.

    Starting the day precariously placed at 95/2, Afghanistan seized control at the Queens Sports Club with an unbroken 361-run partnership between Rahmat Shah and Hashmatullah Shahidi. The duo dismantled Zimbabwe’s six-man bowling attack, which endured a wicketless and gruelling day under the scorching Bulawayo sun.

    Rahmat Shah, who came to the crease after opener Sediqullah Atal fell in the second over, displayed remarkable poise and resilience. Facing 416 deliveries, he struck 23 boundaries and three sixes, surpassing his previous highest Test score of 102 against Bangladesh in 2019.
