In an exciting final day flourish, both South Africa and Afghanistan are going for the highest run chase in men’s Test cricket in their respective matches.
While South Africa is chasing 421 against Australia in Durban, Afghanistan is going for a 479-target against Bangladesh in Abu Dhabi.
If either of the team chases its target, it will be the highest successful win in the red-ball cricket.
Currently, West Indies holds the record of highest successful chase — 418 against Australia in 2003 at St. Johns.
