afghanistan cricket team
Afghanistan’s cricket team has performed brilliantly on the international stage in the last few years. In the T20 World Cup played last year, his team had qualified till the semi-finals. Now it would be a big mistake for any other team to consider their team weak in white ball cricket. Amidst all this, Afghanistan has gradually started strengthening its hold in red ball i.e. Test cricket also. Afghanistan team recently toured Zimbabwe. Where T20, ODI and Test series were played. After the T20 and ODI series, Afghanistan also won the Test series. Due to the victory in this test series, his team has made two big records in its name.
Afghanistan made this record
Afghanistan had drawn the first Test match against Zimbabwe, but after that match their team made some changes in their plan and won the second Test match by 72 runs. With this victory, his team won the series by a margin of 1-0. This was Afghanistan’s 11th test match. He has achieved 4 wins in a total of 11 test matches. Which is the second highest win by any team in the first 11 test matches. The name of Australia’s team is at the first place in this list. He had won six in the first 11 test matches.
First Asian team to do so
Afghanistan has also made a record during this series by which they have defeated all the Asian teams. In fact, till now the Afghanistan team had played all the test series or matches in Asia only. This was the first time that his team played a Test series outside Asia. He won in his very first attempt. With this, Afghanistan also became the first Asian team to win its first Test series outside Asia. Even big teams like India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka had not achieved this position in Test cricket.
