Rashid's Historic 200th Wicket Seals Afghanistan's 19-Run Win Over Zimbabwe

Afghanistan beat Zimbabwe by 19 runs in the second T20I at Sharjah Cricket Stadium, defending 221 for 7 as Zimbabwe finished on 202 for 5 to give Afghanistan a 2-0 series lead.

Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza fought back with an unbeaten 106 off 56 balls, but his century came in a losing cause after the chase fell short.

The night also belonged to Rashid Khan, who became the first bowler ever to take 200 wickets in T20 internationals, reaching the mark in his 120th match when he trapped Tadiwanashe Marumani lbw in the ninth over.

Azmatullah Omarzai's maiden century, 116 off 50 balls, had earlier powered Afghanistan's total, with Ijaz Ahmad Ahmadzai adding 52 off 27 balls.
