15 wickets fell on the first day of the first test in Abu Dhabi. Afghanistan was it for 131 races. Zimbabwe finished the day 133 out of five in Williams’ fifty undefeated.
This is the first time the two teams have met in test cricket. Three have made their test debuts for Afghans, one for Zimbabwe.
Afghanistan won the draw and chose to hit at Sheikh Zayed Stadium on Tuesday. Abhishikta Abdul Malik was thrown by the bat as it fell onto the stump of Mujarabani. Mujarabani became the first Zimbabwean bowler to remove a window from the first ball of a test.
The right arm pacemaker returned Rahmat Shah, Afghanistan’s only test centurion, on his next turn. Ibrahim Zadran tried to resist the anointed Munir Ahmad. Nauchi, Mujarabani’s new ball partner, broke Munir’s highest association of 29 runs by returning Munir. Munir caught the ball off the stump with the bat.
Nauchi then returned Ibrahim and Hashmatullah Shahidi in two consecutive overs. Then there are 5 terrains for 69 races. After lunch, Mujarabani broke the resistance of Captain Asghar Afghan.
Afghans get 100 percent mainly on Afsar Zazai’s bat. Donald Tiripano stopped the batter, who had scored a maximum of 36 runs in 8 fours, with a great shot. After that, they couldn’t go very far.
Muzarabani finished the Afghanistan entries before the tea break by returning Zaheer Khan. The pacemaker, who had no wickets in the only event played in 2016, took 4 wickets for 46 runs this time. Nauchi took 3 wickets for 34 runs.
Zimbabwe did not get off to a good start. Kevin Kasuza was thrown on the fourth ball of the inning by pacemaker Yamin Ahmadzai. Tarisai Musakanda also returned to the test team after three and a half years. Left arm spinner Amir Hamza, who threw it, then threw two consecutive balls to bring back Prince Masvoure and Wesley Madhevrere for a hat-trick.
With that, Sikandar Raja, who started hitting the boundary, initiated a counterattack. Playing confidently from the start, his partner with Williams is frozen. After losing 4 wickets in 36 races, Zimbabwe turned around and took his hands.
In the final hour, Hamza broke the 61-run stand by returning Raja (43 of 72 balls). Williams spent the rest of his time with Ryan Burle. The Zimbabwe captain is undefeated with 54 of 6 balls.
