Sam Cook brought initial success

In the match, the first England bowler Sam Cook gave Zimbabwe’s opener Ben Karan out for only 6 runs and gave the initial success. After this, captain Erwin and Brian Bennett shared more than 50 runs while handling the innings.

Bashir broke important partnership

When it seemed that the pair of Erwin and Bennett would make a strong partnership, Bashir dismissed Erwin for 42 runs and it became their 50th wicket. This wicket not only gave England a significant success, but Bashir also recorded a historical record.

Steven Finn’s record broken

Earlier, former England fast bowler Steven Finn had a record of taking 50 wickets at the youngest. Finn took 125 wickets by playing 36 Test matches in his career, but Bashir achieved this position in less matches than him.

Start is fantastic

Shoaib Bashir made his Test debut against India in Visakhapatnam last year. In his first match, he took 4 wickets and after that he caught everyone’s attention by taking 5 wickets in the Test played in Ranchi. Now he has crossed another milestone with his brilliant performance.
