Top 6 achievements of Afghanistan as a cricketing nation

#4. Beating Zimbabwe 3-2, at their own backyard

Their first series win against a Test playing nation came under the captaincy of Asghar Stanikzai against Zimbabwe in the year 2015.

Zimbabwe took a 1-0 lead in the five match ODI series, dominating the first game but the team from the sub-continent had other ideas. They won three out of the next four games and went on to win the series 3-2. Mohammed Nabi turned out to be a hero with the bat and Dawlat Zardran had a good series with the ball.

This victory was a special one, not only because it was against a test playing nation, but also because the tracks in Zimbabwe offered a lot to the fast bowlers. Their batsmen adjusted brilliantly to the conditions and made sure they got their first series win against a Test playing nation.
