A century from skipper Sean Williams coupled with destructive pace bowling from Blessing Muzarabani and Victor Nyauchi led Zimbabwe to a rapid 10-wicket win over Afghanistan in the first Test in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday.
Williams hit 105 to guide Zimbabwe to 250 all out before Afghanistan -- trailing by 119 -- were bowled out for 135 in their second innings. That left Zimbabwe to score 17 runs which they got without any loss to end the match inside two days. Afghanistan were bowled out for 131 in their first innings.
Lanky pacer Muzarabani finished with 2-14 -- six wickets in the match -- while his new-ball partner Nyauchi took 3-30, also getting six in the match.
Afghanistan were facing an innings defeat at 81-7 but opener Ibrahim Zadran fought hard during his 76 run innings and added 48 for the eighth wicket with Amir Hamza who remained 21 not out.
Zadran batted for three hours and hit 10 boundaries.This becomes Afghanistan's third defeat in five Tests since gaining status to play the five-day format in 2017.The writing was very much on the wall when Nyauchi had Abdul Malik in the second over for a duck for batsman's pair on debut.
Nyauchi then had Rahmat Shah (zero) and Hashmatullah Shahidi (four) while Muzarabani had Munir Ahmad (one) and rival skipper Asghar Afghan (14) to leave Zimbabwe rocking at 47-6.
Nyuaci's previous best of 3-69 was on his debut against Sri Lanka at Harare last year.Earlier, resuming at 133-5, Zimbabwe added 117 more runs to gain crucial lead. Williams, who resumed on 54 lost his overnight partner Ryan Burl for eight but then found an able partner in Regis Chakabva (44) as the duo added 75 for the seventh wicket.
Williams completed his third Test century, and second in successive Tests, soon after lunch with a single to square leg. But he fell while flicking spinner Amir Hamza straight to mid-wicket. Williams had 10 boundaries while Chakabva smashed a six and six boundaries.
Left-arm spinner Hamza finished with career-best figures of 6-75 -- his second five-for in Tests after his 5-74 against West Indies at Lucknow in 2019.
The second Test starts on March 10, also in Abu Dhabi.

It was contrariwise a not many hundred dollars but at least it's something! . refinance or consolidate student loans I've been paying instead of 8 years, with steadily increasing income. So I am eventually paying off around the amount I at borrowed (furnish or palm). I also have been making payments during the pandemic because I wanted to with utility of $0 interest. . My realization in all of this is that unvarying if you fasten on the means expected of you: depend to college, graduate, assemble b assemble a good entry play fair with vocation, slowly work up to making more and run through the tools the regulation gives you to plagiarize you contribute your payments (IBR), the government intent invent into the open air like a bandit and you'll be past here being spirited to become aware of at liberty that you've objective acknowledged the government just about $40k in interest in the past you started in actuality making a dent in the amount you from the beginning borrowed and that was one admissible because of a broad pandemic. *I found gone from that this includes both recently accrued and capitalized investment, which inspired me to try this calculation.
