Bangladesh need 101

DHAKA:  Taijul Islam’s 8 wickets helped Bangladesh to pack up Zimbabwean innings with 114-run in the first test at Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur on Monday.

The hosts have already lost three wickets without any run while chasing the 101-run target set by Zimbabwe.

Chigumbura bagged the wickets of Tamim Iqbal and Mominul Haque while Panyangara took Shamsur Rahman’s one.

However, Taijul Islam becomes the first Bangladeshi to take 8 wickets in an innings while Shahadat Hossain and Shakib-al-Hasan bagged one wicket each.

Earlier, host Bangladesh lost all wickets to score 254 runs in their first innings.

The first test of the three-match Bashundhara Cement Test Series began Saturday.

Earlier on Sunday, Bangladesh only managed a 14-run lead after chasing Zimbabwe’s 240 runs. Before going back to the pavilion, Mahmudullah and Mominul Haque scored 63 and 53 runs respectively.

Later captain Mushfiqur Rahim scored a responsible 64 off 126 balls.    

Zimbabwe pacer T Panyangara took five wickets while Sikandar Raza and T Kamungozi bagged one wicket each. Besides, Mominul Haque, Shakib al Hasan (5) and Shahadat Hossain (0) were run out.

Earlier on Saturday, in the first day, Shakib Al Hasan exploited the significant bounce and turn on offer to take six wickets on his comeback from a two-and-a-half month disciplinary suspension imposed by the BCB.

Besides, debutant Jubair Hossain bagged two wickets while Shahadat Hossain and Taijul Islam picked up one wicket each.

In their first innings, Zimbabwe lost all wickets to score 240.
