Bangladesh crush Afghanistan by 546 runs in one-off Test
Bangladesh beat Afghanistan for 115 runs in the first session on day four of the only Test to take the match by a record 546 runs at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium on Saturday.
Chasing a mammoth 661 runs, Afghanistan, who started the fourth day on 45 for two, could add only 70 runs to their overnight total as the Bangladesh pacers turned up the heat, The Daily Star reported.
Taskin Ahmed scalped four wickets, while Shoriful Islam picked up three.
The margin of victory (by runs) is the third-largest in the history of Tests, and the biggest in the last 89 years in the format.
