New Delhi, September 10: Afghanistan created history by beating Bangladesh in what was their first-ever away Test. Needing four wickets to win the one-off Test on the final day, Afghanistan got just 18 overs in the third session to finish the job with much of the rest of the day washed off by rain. The last wicket sparked wild celebrations from the Afghan players, who were playing just their third Test match. Afghanistan Defeat Bangladesh by 225 Runs in One-Off Test Match; Netizens Hail Rashid Khan for Bagging 11 Wickets.
