Zimbabwe beat Bangladesh by 335 runs

Zimbabwe beat Bangladesh by 335 runs in the first cricket Test at Harare Sports Club on Saturday after skipper Brendan Taylor became just the third Zimbabwean to score a century in each innings of a match.

Taylor’s 171 and 102 not out set up Zimbabwe’s victory in the first of two Tests.

Bangladesh made 147 in their second innings that ended soon after tea on the fourth day, falling to a heavy defeat after making only 134 in the first innings.

Taylor’s career-best anchored Zimbabwe’s 389 in the first innings after the home team was put in to bat by the tourists.

He completed his second century earlier on Saturday.

The Flower brothers, Grant and Andy, are the only other Zimbabweans to make two hundreds in a Test.
