BY EMMANUEL MARAMBE ZIMBABWE’S Chevrons battled hard in the tough conditions in Bulawayo to score 243 runs and grab an 86-run first innings lead against Afghanistan that, barring inclement weather conditions, should set them up for a first Test win since 2021. And while Afghanistan had eaten into the Chevrons’ 86-run lead at the close…

Sikandar Raza’s dismissal of Afghanistan captain Hashmatullah Shahidi (13 runs off 26 balls) in the 14th over, leaving the visitors at 43/3 ensured that the Chevrons will go into today’s third day with high hopes of restricting their opponents’ second innings total while putting themselves in a prime position to claim the Test.
