Din ki shuruaat Afghanistan ne 159/6 se ki thi. Team ke saamne sabse badi challenge first-innings deficit ko kam karna tha. Naseer Khan aur Afsar Zazai ne crease par tikne ki koshish ki, lekin Zimbabwe ke disciplined bowling attack ne unhe lambe samay tak control hasil nahi karne diya.

Tactical Analysis: Day 4 Par Kya Important Hoga?
Zimbabwe ke liye next objective remaining wickets ke saath jitne possible ho sake utne runs add karna ho sakta hai. Har additional run Afghanistan ke eventual chase ko aur demanding banayega.

Test cricket me fourth-innings pressure ka impact substantial ho sakta hai. Lekin pitch behavior aur weather ke confirmed details available nahi hain, isliye kisi specific bowling advantage ya result ko certain maanna sahi nahi hoga.
