Ismat Alam, who had scored a duck in his first international innings, made amends in spectacular fashion. Displaying maturity beyond his years, Ismat converted his maiden Test fifty into a stunning century. His innings of <strong>101 runs off 136 balls<\/strong> included a mix of elegant drives and powerful pulls, making it the highest score by an Afghanistan batter on Test debut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Accompanied by Rashid Khan, who contributed with a breezy 28, Ismat guided Afghanistan to a total of <strong>363 runs<\/strong>, setting Zimbabwe a daunting target of <strong>278<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9898f6af50ade93b3615cc2b3c696d43\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong>Afternoon Session: Rashid Weaves His Magic<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Zimbabwe&#8217;s chase began on a shaky note. The openers managed a decent start, but Afghanistan\u2019s bowlers quickly found their rhythm. <strong>Zia-ur-Rehman<\/strong> struck first, dismissing Joylord Gumbie with a sharp delivery that ended in a slip catch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then came the Rashid Khan show. In a spell of wizardry, Rashid dismissed <strong>Ben Curran<\/strong> with a spinning delivery from the rough and removed Takudzwanashe Kaitano just before tea. His relentless pressure kept Zimbabwe\u2019s batters on edge, setting the stage for an intense final session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed alignleft is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">A maiden Test six-wicket haul for Blessing Muzarabani as Afghanistan set Zimbabwe a target of 278 to win the inaugural New Year\u2019s Test \ud83d\udd25<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ZIMvAFG?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ZIMvAFG<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/VisitZimbabwe?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#VisitZimbabwe<\/a> \ud83d\udcdd<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/HdHfDCXyud\">https:\/\/t.co\/HdHfDCXyud<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/iHoAo5Ki00\">pic.twitter.com\/iHoAo5Ki00<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Zimbabwe Cricket (@ZimCricketv) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ZimCricketv\/status\/1875848964374925492?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 5, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-fed9a407995248b4d57064ffb2e6282c\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong>Evening Session: Zimbabwe\u2019s Grit Meets Rashid\u2019s Brilliance<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Zimbabwe&#8217;s senior duo of <strong>Craig Ervine<\/strong> and <strong>Sikandar Raza<\/strong> put up a spirited fight with a 58-run partnership.
