Sylhet, Apr 23 (UNI) Zimbabwe won the first Test against Bangladesh by three wickets in a dramatic finish at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium here on Wednesday.
Wesley Madhevere reverse-swept a boundary to get the winning runs off Mehedi Hasan Miraz, who had given Bangladesh an unlikely chance of winning with his second five-wicket haul of the match.
The visitors looked set for a comfortable victory when they had raced to 95 in the 21st over without losing any wicket, chasing a modest target of 174. However, Miraz's five-for with Taijul Islam's brace gave Bangladfesh a fighting chance in fading light.
