Sports Games:There is no cricketer who does not dream of playing for the country. They remember the day throughout their lifetime when they wearing the jersey of the national team go on the field. And if they give the team victory by performing brilliantly in their very first match, then they are sure to show praise. There are many cricketers who have become ‘match winners’ in their very first match. New Zealand’s young spinner Zachari Fallks has also joined the list.

Zakar, who played in the second Test match against Zimbabwe, impressed everyone with nine wickets in two innings. The spinner set a record for the best performance in his first Test match for the Kiwi team. Zakar’s performance overtook the records made by Will O’Rurke against South Africa last year. While this fast bowler from Roorkee took 9 wickets for 93 runs, this spin sensation dismissed nine players for 75 runs.

Zakar was part of New Zealand’s historic victory at the Queens Stores Club ground. The right -handed spinner, who played a key role in Zimbabwe’s defeat with four important wickets in the first innings, also showed amazing in the second innings. This time he took the Kiwi team victory by taking five wickets in one stroke. Matt Henry, while supporting Zakar, blown away the middle -order batsmen and the domestic team stumbled. Rachin Ravindra (165), opener Devon Conway (153) and Henry Nichols (150) scored a huge century in the first innings. Captain Santner declared the innings on the third day on a score of 601-3.
