Bangladesh crush Zimbabwe to level series with innings victory
Bangladesh won the second and final Test against Zimbabwe by an innings and 106 runs yesterday, a decisive victory in less than three days to level the series. Zimbabwe scored 227 in their first innings after winning the toss, with Bangladesh scoring a formidable 444 in response. The visitors then collapsed for 111 in the second session of the third day in Chattogram. Mehidy Hasan Miraz starred with both bat and ball, scoring a century and then bagging 5-32 with the ball to hand Zimbabwe a crushing defeat. It was the all-rounder's third five-wicket haul of the series after five in each innings of the Sylhet Test. His spin-bowling partner Taijul Islam bagged 3-42 for nine wickets in the match. Ben Curran was the only batsman to offer some resistance, scoring 46 off 103 balls in an innings laced with five boundaries. Craig Ervine (25) and Wellington Masakadza (10) were the only other Zimbabweans to reach double digits in the second innings. Shadman Islam earlier topscored for Bangladesh with 120 to power the hosts to an imposing total. Leg-spinner Vincent Masekesa was the most successful among the Zimbabwe bowlers with 5-115, in the process becoming Zimbabwe's third cricketer to take five wickets on debut after Andy Blignaut and John Nyumbu. However, his efforts could not stop Bangladesh running away with the match. Bangladesh added 153 more to their overnight total of 291, with Mehidy assisted by tailenders Taijul (20 off 45) and Tanzim Hasan Sakib (41 off 80). It was Zimbabwe's second successive defeat at the spin-friendly venue and the second time that Bangladesh have defeated Zimbabwe by an innings. The margin of their first defeat of that magnitude, in Dhaka in 2020, was identical: an innings and 106 runs.

Mehidy powers Bangladesh to innings and 106-run victory over Zimbabwe
Mehidy Hasan Miraz delivered a sensational all-round performance to lead Bangladesh to a commanding innings-and-106-run victory over Zimbabwe on the third day of the Chattogram Test. After scoring a defiant century (104) with the bat, Mehidy returned to torment Zimbabwe with the ball, picking up five wickets to seal the match with two days to spare. Resuming on the second day's close at 291 for 7, Bangladesh added 153 more runs in the morning session before being bowled out for 444. Mehidy turned out to be the hero of the innings with a superb 104, his second Test century. He was well supported by Taijul Islam (20), debutant Tanzim Hasan, who chipped in with 41, and No. 11 Hasan Mahmud, who helped extend the lead. The innings proved more than enough to press Zimbabwe out of the contest. Earlier in the game, Zimbabwe had posted a modest 227 in their first innings. Mehidy's innings after Shadman Islam's (120), after a shaky end to Day Two, was pivotal in Bangladesh gaining a substantial 217-run lead. Zimbabwe's second innings unravelled swiftly after tea. Taijul Islam drew first blood, getting Brian Bennett (6) caught at second slip. He followed it up with the wicket of Nick Welch for a duck—trapped leg-before, a decision confirmed on review. Nayeem Hasan then removed Sean Williams, who was caught again at second slip for 7. While Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto dropped a simple chance off Craig Ervine, Mehidy took charge from the other end. He bowled Ervine for 25 as the Zimbabwe captain tried to take him on and misjudged the spin. Mehidy then trapped Wessly Madhevere lbw for a duck and dismissed wicketkeeper Tafadzwa Tsiga in quick succession. Wellington Masakadza's attempt to counterattack ended with a mistimed shot to mid-off, handing Mehidy his fourth scalp. The only Zimbabwean batter to offer resistance was Sam Curran, who stood tall with a gritty 46 off 103 balls. But even he couldn't escape Mehidy's magic, nicking behind to become the fifth victim. Taijul returned to remove Richard Ngarava for five before Mominul Haque's direct hit ended Vincent Masekesa's stay, sealing Zimbabwe's collapse for just 111 in the second innings. Masekesa, however, provided a lone bright spark for the visitors, picking up five wickets on debut—a rare achievement for a Zimbabwean bowler in Test cricket. Indo-Asian News Service
