Rashid leads Afghanistan to famous test win over Bangladesh

REUTERS: 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 on Monday.

Rashid was adjudged the player of the match, which he dedicated to fellow spinner and former captain Mohammad Nabi who retired from tests but will continue to play white-ball cricket. "We are new in this format, total credit goes to the coaching staff and the players for this victory," Rashid said at the presentation ceremony."We had the best preparation for this game. The only thing from my side was enjoy your bowling and enjoy your batting, that's what matters in test cricket. Everyone applied themselves, it was a total team effort."

Rashid and Nabi, who took 3-56 in the first innings, then combined to skittle Bangladesh for 205 for a handy first innings lead. Afghanistan then made 260 in their second innings to set Bangladesh a steep target to chase on a spinning track.
