DUBAI: Skipper Asghar Afghan on Thursday became the first Afghanistan batsman to hit 150 in an innings of a Test match. The 33-year-old cricketer achieved the feat in the ongoing second Test against Zimbabwe here at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium.
He was followed by Hashmatullah Shahidi as the batsman also crossed the 150-run mark in the second game of the series on Thursday. The duo ended up adding 307 runs as the Zimbabwe bowlers looked lost for ideas. Meanwhile, Afghan has also become the leading run-scorer for his side in the longest format of the game, having played most Tests among his teammates.
In the second Test, Afghanistan posted 307/3 on day one on the back of Afghan’s gutsy century and Ibrahim Zadran and Hashmatullah Shahidi’s fifties.
Afghanistan was dismissed for 131 and 135 in the first Test, but the side made a comeback with an improved batting performance in the second game.
