  "account": "Rahmat Shah made history on his inaugural Test match as the captain of Afghanistan, scoring a century against Bangladesh. His 105-run innings marked him as the first Afghan cricketer to achieve a century on his debut as a Test captain. Shah took 10 fours and two sixes off 216 balls during the 1st innings. However, this effort was not enough to prevent Afghanistan from being bowled out for 240 in response to Bangladesh's 346 runs. Opener Abdul Malik contributed 62 runs off 120 balls, while wicketkeeper-batter Ikram Alikhil scored 32 off 103 deliveries. The match took place at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Sunday.",
