Zimbabwe created history by defeating Bangladesh, winning the Test after 4 years
Bangladesh vs Zimbabwe 1st Test: With this win, Zimbabwe has created history. The team has got this success in Test cricket after about four years. The last time Zimbabwe won a Test match against Afghanistan was in March 2021. At the same time, Zimbabwe has won a Test match on Bangladesh soil after six years.
Due to the excellent bowling of Blessing Muzarabani (6 wickets) and the gallant knock of Brian Bennett (54 runs), Ben Curran (44 runs) and Wesley Madhevere (19 not out), Zimbabwe recorded a historic victory by achieving a 3-run win against Bangladesh in the first Test. This is Zimbabwe's first Test match win in four years and Bangladesh win in six years. Zimbabwe took a 1-0 lead in the two-Test series with this win.
Chasing a target of 174, Zimbabwe got a brilliant start and established a solid foundation towards a win with the help of the opening duo of Brian Bennett and Ben Curran. Both of them added a record 95-run stand for the first wicket together. Mehdi Hasan Miraz ended this stand by getting rid of Ben Curran (44).
Then Taijul Islam sent Nick Welch (10) leg before wicket. Miraz sent Sean Williams (9) and the established Bennett (54) next, and thus made the match interesting.
