Zimbabwe beat Bangladesh by 130 runs

Zimbabwe defeated Bangladesh by 130 runs in a one-off Test match at Harare Sports club yesterday. This was their first win after staging a comeback to cricket following a six-year hiatus.

Chasing 375 to win, the visitors were restricted to 244 by lunch with a couple of wickets in their kitty.

Although Zimbabwe have recently played in other formats, it is their first victory in the most respected Test format since self-imposed exile in January 2005, inspired by the fact they had become the whipping boys of Test cricket with little prospect of improvement.

Brief scores: Zimbabwe 370 & 291-5 beat Bangladesh 287 & 244 by 130 runs
