Opening the batting first, Zadran held one end for Afghanistan while others were getting out for a low number. His incredible anchor knock of 129* off 143 balls saw him smashing 3 sixes at the end along with 7 classical boundaries to take Afghans to a commendable total of 291. Zadran built his anchor innings with a lot of singles and doubles which reflect his hard work and perseverance against a quality bowling attack.
