Minnows Afghanistan had the last laugh after so many stop-starts in their one-off Test match against Bangladesh at Chattorgram. And leading the side with example was their new captain and star all-rounder, Rashid Khan. The 20-year-old hit a fifty, then took an 11-wicket haul as the visitors completed a massive 224-run win at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, Chattogram on Monday.
Here's how the final day started:
Rashid Khan continued with his fine form and tortured Bangladesh once again as Afghanistan edged closer to a victory on a rain-affected Day 4 of the one-off Test in Zohur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium. The spinner registered a first innings five-for, followed by another three wickets on Sunday before stumps was called with the hosts on 136-6. Bangladesh still need more 262 runs. The visitors will be aiming to wrap things up soon due to the weather conditions. Afghanistan didn't go for an overnight declaration, and started on Day 4 after some rain. They were bowled out for 260, with Afsar Zazai missing out on a maiden Test half-century. Rain stopped play continuously, with Bangladesh losing the likes of Liton Das (9)), MOsaddek Hossain (12), Mushifiqur Rahim (23), Mominul Haque (3), Shadman Islam (41) and Mahmudullah (7). With Day 5 set to begin, Bangladesh will be going in with Shakib Al Hasan (39*) and Soumya Sarkar (0*).
