Afghanistan's leg-spinner Rashid Khan became the first bowler to take 200 wickets in men's T20 Internationals during the second T20I against Zimbabwe in Sharjah. He achieved the milestone by dismissing Zimbabwe's Tadiwanashe Marumani. In the same match, Azmatullah Omarzai scored a century, helping Afghanistan recover from an early collapse to post 221/7. Rashid leads the T20I wicket-takers list, ahead of England's Adil Rashid, and is noted for his economical bowling and consistent performance in the format.
