Zimbabwe’s dominance had been set up earlier by Brad Evans, who marked his return with a five-wicket haul to bowl Afghanistan out for 127 in the first innings. The hosts then piled up 359, thanks to a maiden Test hundred from Ben Curran and valuable contributions from Sikandar Raza, Evans, and Brendan Taylor, before their seamers skittled Afghanistan a second time to seal victory with two full days and a session to spare.
