Opener Sediqullah Atal slammed his maiden ODI century while off-spinner A.M. Ghazanfar picked 3-9 as Afghanistan secured their biggest win in the 50-over format by runs with a 232-run win over Zimbabwe at the Harare Sports Club. 

Put into batting first on a sunny Thursday morning, Atal and his opening partner Abdul Malik hit 104 and 84 respectively while sharing a 191-run opening stand to take Afghanistan to 286/6 in their 50 overs. In reply, led by Ghazanfar, Zimbabwe were unable to get going and were bundled out for just 54 in 17.5 overs. It’s also the joint-lowest Afghanistan have dismissed any side in their history of ODI cricket so far.
