Zimbabwe created history on Tuesday by recording the biggest win in their Test cricket history, beating Bangladesh by an innings and 85 runs in the one-off Test at the Harare Sports Club. Led by Richard Ngarava, the hosts produced a commanding all-round performance to defeat Bangladesh in every department and seal a memorable victory. After winning the toss and electing to bowl, Zimbabwe’s fast attack made an immediate impact as Bangladesh collapsed to 140 in their first innings. The visitors lost eight wickets for just seven runs during a dramatic collapse, with: Mominul Haque who stood as the only batter to provide resistance, scoring 60 off 81 deliveries. Newman Nyamhuri starred with the ball, claiming 4/61, while captain Richard Ngarava, Blessing of Muzarabani and Brad Evans picked up two wickets each to complete Bangladesh’s collapse. Zimbabwe then capitalized on the strong start with an impressive batting display. Opener Innocent Kaia scored a superb 140 to anchor the innings Craig Ervine (60), Brian Bennett and Wessly Madhevere all contributed half-centuries as the hosts piled up 410 in their only innings. However: Taijul Islam conceding seven wickets to Bangladesh, Zimbabwe still secured a commanding first-innings lead of 270 runs. Facing a huge deficit, Bangladesh needed a special effort to extend the competition but failed to recover. They were dismissed for 185 in their second innings, giving Zimbabwe victory by an innings and 85 runs. Blessing Muzarabani led the attack with figures of 4/65, while Ngarava claimed 3/32. Brad Evans and Newman Nyamhuri also featured as Zimbabwe’s four-man pace attack ensured that each member of the quartet took wickets in both innings. The result marks another important milestone for Zimbabwe, who have now won back-to-back Test matches for the first time in over 25 years. Their previous Test, played in October, ended in an innings and 73-run victory over Afghanistan, and they followed it up with another dominant performance against Bangladesh. Short scores: Bangladesh 140 (Mominul Haque 60; Newman Nyamhuri 4-61, Blessing Muzarabani 2-19) and 185 (Mushfiqur Rahim 34; Blessing Muzarabani 4-65, Richard Ngarava 3-32) lost to Zimbabwe 410 (Innocent Kaia 140, Wever Craige jul 60; Islam 7-138) by an innings and 85 run.
