The player who left Pakistan at the age of 16 has done wonders while playing for Zimbabwe. He has written the script of his unmatched success in the victory of Zimbabwe. By doing this, Zimbabwe has done something in the history of cricket, which no player has ever done before. First of all, let us know who is this amazing player? We are talking about Sikandar Raza, who has given a historic performance against Rwanda in the Group B match of the T20 World Cup Sub-regional Africa Qualifier.

Created history by taking 5 wickets

Sikandar Raza performed brilliantly against Rwanda and took 5 wickets with the ball. With this he became the first Zimbabwean player to take 5 wickets in Men's T20 International. 38 year old Sikandar Raza took 5 wickets for 18 runs in 4 overs against Rwanda, who were chasing a big target of 241 runs. Sikandar Raza is an all-rounder. However, his batting did not work in the match against Rwanda. But the impression he left with the ball helped Zimbabwe win by 149 runs.

Sikandar Raza's relation with Pakistan

Sikandar Raza is originally Pakistani. He was born in Sialkot in the year 1986. He studied in the Air Force School of Pakistan. However, in 2002, when Raza was 16 years old, his family left Pakistan and settled in Zimbabwe. In 2013, Sikandar Raza of Pakistani origin made his debut in international cricket for Zimbabwe.

The team won with 5 wickets from Sikandar Raza and 96 runs from Doyan Myers.

Talking about the match, Zimbabwe, batting first, scored 240 runs for 8 wickets in 20 overs. For Zimbabwe, Dion Myers scored the highest score of 96 runs in 45 balls. He missed his century by 4 runs. If he had scored a century, he would have become the first Zimbabwean player to do so in the history of Men's T20I.

When Doyan Myers attacked Rwanda with the bat, Gadar Sikandar Raza was seen hitting him with the ball. The effect was that the entire Rwandan team collapsed for 91 runs. That is, she could not even score as many runs as a Zimbabwean player did.
