After giving Zimbabwe a target of 199 in the first match of the T20 series, Rashid Khan's bowling prowess tied Zimbabwe by 150 runs and Afghanistan left the field with a big victory of 48 runs. In this match, Rashid took 3 wickets for 26 runs in four overs.

And with these 3 wickets Rashid Khan touched Shakib Al Hasan of Bangladesh. Shakib has taken 92 wickets in the International Twenty20. Rashid Khan's wicket count in T20 is equal to Shakib's 92. The Afghan star will surpass Shakib if he takes another wicket. Rashid has played only 49 matches to take 92 wickets. On the other hand, Shakib took 6 wickets to take 92 wickets.

Both of them need 6 wickets each to take 100 wickets in T20. Shakib is not in the squad for Bangladesh's upcoming tour of New Zealand. So Rashid Khan has the opportunity to touch the milestone of 100 T20 wickets as only the second cricketer before Shakib.

Lasith Malinga became the first cricketer to take 100 wickets in this format. Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi is at number two with 97 wickets. The only rival in front of Shakib-Rashid is Team Saudi. This fast bowler took 93 wickets. This bowler also has a chance to enter the elite club of 100 wickets in Bangladesh series.
