Zimbabwe national cricket team have earned a three-wicket win over hosts Bangladesh national cricket team in the first of the BAN vs ZIM two Test match series 2025. Chasing a mere target of 174 runs in the second innings at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium in Sylhet, visitors Zimbabwe felt a bit of trouble at the end, but riding on the 54-run knock by Brian Bennett, and some quick scores from the lower-order, they earned a win. The opener had also struck another half-century for Zimbabwe in the first innings. Hosts Bangladesh had won the toss and had elected to bat first in the BAN vs ZIM 1st Test 2025 match. The clueless tigers succumbed soon, getting bundled for 191 only in the first innings. In reply, Zimbabwe posted a strong 273. Bangladesh did try to retaliate, riding on captain Najmul Hossain Shanto's 60 and a 58 from keeper Jaker Ali, but could only make a 255 in total. Bowler Blessing Muzarabani was quite impressive, scalping a total of nine wickets across both innings.
