Afghanistan and Zimbabwe played a high-scoring draw in their first Test of the two-match series which saw free run-scoring.\u00a0  <!-- \/8323530\/ITv_Desktop_VDO_1X1 -->\n  <\/p>\n<p>Afghanistan slammed 699 in their only innings which saw two double centurions in Rahmat Shah and Hashmatullah Shahidi. They have now shattered a historic record in Test cricket for taking the fewest number of Test matches to score 600 runs in the format.<\/p>\n<p>This was Afghanistan&#8217;s 10th Test match, far fewer than Pakistan&#8217;s previous record of getting to 600-plus score in 19 Tests. Pakistan held the record when they slammed their maiden 600-plus total in red-ball cricket in 1958 after making their debut in 1952.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fewest matches taken to score 600-plus runs in Test cricket:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1 &#8211; Afghanistan: 10 Test matches<\/p>\n<p>2 &#8211; Pakistan: 19 Test matches<\/p>\n<p>3 &#8211; West Indies: 27 Test matches<\/p>\n<p>4 &#8211; Sri Lanka: 75 Test matches<\/p>\n<p>5 &#8211; Bangladesh: 76 Test matches<\/p>\n<p>Hashmatullah Shahidi&#8217;s 246 is now the highest score by an Afghanistan batter in Test cricket. He had held the record previously too which was snatched briefly by Shah, who had made 234.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile both the teams registered their highest-ever score in Test cricket, making it only the sixth instance of both teams registering their highest scores in the same Test.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Zimbabwe made 586 in their first innings with Sean Williams, Craig Ervine and Brian Bennett hitting centuries. The Chevrons made 142\/4 in the second innings before the match was drawn. Bennett, who hit a hundred in the first innings, took a five-wicket haul later. At 21y 46d, he has become the youngest to score a century and take a fifer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Zimbabwe&#8217;s Playing XI:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Joylord Gumbie (wk), Ben Curran, Takudzwanashe Kaitano, Sean Williams, Craig Ervine (c), Dion Myers, Brandon Mavuta, Brian Bennett, Newman Nyamhuri, Blessing Muzarabani, Trevor Gwandu<\/p>\n<p><strong>Afghanistan&#8217;s Playing XI:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Abdul Malik, Sediqullah Atal, Rahmat Shah, Hashmatullah Shahidi (c), AM Ghazanfar, Afsar Zazai (wk), Azmatullah Omarzai, Shahidullah Kamal, Naveed Zadran, Zia-ur-Rehman, Zahir Khan<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async>\nfunction loadFacebookScript(){\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\nn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,\ndocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '529056027274737');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n}\nwindow.addEventListener('load', (event) => {\n\tsetTimeout(function(){\n        loadFacebookScript();\n\t}, 5000);\n});\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatvnews.com\/sports\/cricket\/afghanistan-break-pakistan-world-record-during-draw-against-zimbabwe-2024-12-30-968736\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image Source : ACB Afsar Zazai.
