Zimbabwe Edge Past Bangladesh in Sylhet Thriller

Zimbabwe won its fourth away Test match against Bangladesh, ending with a three-wicket victory in Sylhet. The team succeeded in its highest fourth-innings chase ever, repeating its 2018 triumph at the same location.

Blessing Muzarabani led Zimbabwe with nine wickets throughout the match. Wessly Madhevere teamed up with number nine Richard Ngarava to finish the game after a team collapse when they needed less than 50 runs. Brian Bennett and Ben Curran started strong with a 95-run partnership in just 21 overs.

Curran scored 44 runs before falling to Mehidy at mid-off. Nick Welch lost his wicket for 10 runs, Sean Williams made only 9, and troubles began at 127 for 3. Bennett played well until he reached 54 but got caught trying a risky shot against Mehidy.

Craig Ervine and Nyasha Mayavo quickly lost their wickets, leaving Zimbabwe at 145 for 6. Wellington Masakadza calmed things with some boundaries but soon fell to a great ball from Mehidy. Ngarava hit a boundary to cut the target to nine runs.

Madhevere scored the winning runs against Mehidy, creating a historic moment for Zimbabwe cricket. Their comeback from a difficult position showed great determination and skill against a tough Bangladesh bowling attack.
