Rahmat Shah, Ihsanullah see Afghanistan through to historic maiden Test win


Afghanistan scored 314 (Rahmat 98, Asghar 67) and 3 for 149 (Rahmat 76, Eisenhallah 65 *) to Ireland in 172 (Murtagh 54, Ahmad Jai 3-41, Nabi 3-36) and 288 (Balni 82, O'Brien 56 , Rashid defeated) 5-82, Ahmedzai 3-52) with seven wickets

Rahmat Shah missed the taste of history in the first innings, but the other was monumental, Afghanistan scored 76 runs in their first Test, 277 days later started their format. It was his first match since that debut, but he scored - First round of more than 125 in India since 2012-13 - fourth morning. Ireland also dismissed Ehsanullah in the second over of the day in his second Test and did not come much closer than showing his fight. Rahmat's second half century came as a century with opener Ehsanullah, who scored an unbeaten 65 for Afghanistan and won the match by seven wickets.

Ireland was initially frugal, because they had come on Sunday evening, but without too much danger. The slow rate was lower than the level of oversight of the batsmen, which was especially cool for the pitch of the subcontinent on the fourth day. Ireland's method, once more, was to go with Tim Murtagh and George Dockrell to bowl straight lines on a lower pitch, but in any side of the agitation, lack of movement was in favor of Afghanistan.

Even so, at the beginning of the play, there was a nervous Fiddell from Ehsanullah who made it difficult to pursue. While hesitating out on a looping ball, he made a small chip on Stuart Thompson, which contained extra extra cover, but Seamer described the trajectory as utterly incorrect. An easy tech was made more complex than the height of the chest, because it had slipped through the turf and it was finished by catching it; His wide-eyed disbelief suggested that he did not take it in the background.



There was no vein of Rahmat. Where both openers had performed defensive on Sunday, Rahmat allowed himself to score runs. This was the topic that he was stuck in the morning, even if the top priority remained as low as possible for the safety of his stump. Sometimes, he extended his arms upwards, and paid it against both Mortagh and Stuart Thompson, with any speed to allow only such a fall. This happened as a result of the back boundaries of the class, but specifically a grand drive stood out through the extra cover. It came in the 28th over, when Afghanistan was still making 52 runs for 1, crawling along: a tremendous collision on the rise against Thompson who indicated the beginning of the attack of Afghanistan.
And the attack was more than anyone's sight in Afghanistan in the test so far. Sweeps, bridges and on-the-slogans started to fall outside the wardrobe on mid-on because the batsmen did a visual effort to get the run before the end of the season. Even Ehsanullah, who looked worried against spin, when the short leg crossed the silly point, started dipping his watch dipping. He took Docherl on his head - during this trial, a common occurrence - and in particular, became Andy McBrin's extensionist against Offspin, which was subject to many runs under the pitch after purposeful healing. Two of them were on the long boundry, one from the top of a bowler's head, and by then, Ireland also felt that it is going to end soon.

By the end of the session, Afghanistan was also in a hurry. Rahmat James Cameron-Dow ran after delivery, trying to finish with a six, and the prophet ran out in an attempt to return to a difficult second over the next ball. But when Hashmatullah Shahidi pulled the next ball for four runs, the mission was completed: a win in the last over before the scheduled lunch break.
