Afghanistan recorded their biggest One-Day International victory with a 232-run win against hosts Zimbabwe on Thursday.
Opener Sediqullah Atal's maiden ODI century and figures of 3-9 by off-spinner AM Ghazanfar helped set up the win at the Harare Sports Club
After being sent in to bat, Afghanistan amassed 286 for six in their 50 overs, led by Atal’s 104 from 128 balls as part of an opening stand of 191 with Abdul Malik (84 from 101 balls).
Zimbabwe struggled from the start of their reply and were bowled out for 54, the joint lowest Afghanistan have dismissed a side for in ODI cricket. It matches the score they skittled Zimbabwe for at the same venue in 2017.
Afghanistan have a 1-0 lead after two matches in the three-game series with the first fixture rained out. The third and final game is at the Harare Sports Club on Saturday.
