Zimbabwe v Afghanistan, 2014

At Bulawayo (Queens Sports Club), July 20, 2014. Second one-day international: Zimbabwe won by eight wickets. Afghanistan 256-7 (50 overs) (Usman Ghani 118); ‡Zimbabwe 257-2 (43.3 overs) (H. Masakadza 93, Sikandar Raza 141). MoM: Sikandar Raza. Afghanistan were beaten heavily, but unveiled a star. At 17 years and 242 days, and in only his fourth match, Usman Ghani became the second-youngest player to score a century in a one-day international - an outstanding 118 from 143 balls as wickets tumbled around him. But Raza and Hamilton Masakadza punished the erratic Afghan seamers in an opening stand of 224 - an all-wicket record for Zimbabwe, surpassing 204 for the fourth between Stuart Carlisle and Sean Ervine against India at Adelaide in 2003-04. Raza's century, which he reached from 95 balls, was his first for his adopted country (he was born in Pakistan).
