Zimbabwe were 205-8 overnight with captain Craig Ervine unbeaten on 53 and needing 73 more runs to win the Test at Queens Sports Club after a drawn first Test.

But the home team failed to add a run and Afghanistan needed just 15 deliveries to seal a first Test win since beating Zimbabwe in Abu Dhabi four years ago. Richard Ngarava (3) was run out, then man of the match Khan (7-66) added to his six-wicket haul by trapping Ervine leg before.
