Rashid leads Afghanistan to famous test victory

Rashid Khan picked up six second innings wickets to lead Afghanistan to a famous 224-run win over Bangladesh in the maiden test match between the two sides at Chattogram yesterday.

Racing against time to complete a win with less than four overs left in the weather-hit match, the longest-format rookies bundled out the hosts for 173 in their second innings amid a drizzle and fading light. The 20-year-old Rashid, who became the youngest test captain ever during the one-off match, took six for 49 in the second innings to finish with 11 wickets in the match to go with his knock of 51 with the bat in the first innings. Rashid was named man of the match, which he dedicated to fellow spinner and former captain Mohammad Nabi, who retired from tests. Playing only its third test after being inducted as a test-playing nation two years back, it was the second victory for the strife-torn country.
