Zimbabwe secured a historic victory over Bangladesh on Tuesday, winning the one-off Test at the Harare Sports Club by an innings and 85 runs inside three days.
It is now their largest-ever Test victory by an innings and their first innings win against Bangladesh since 2001.
Resuming their second innings on Day 3 at 40 for 1 while trailing by 230 runs, Bangladesh collapsed to 185 all out in 45 overs against a disciplined Zimbabwean pace attack.

Seamer Blessing Muzarabani led the host nation's bowling performance with figures of 4 for 65 from 17 overs.
Bangladesh suffered immediate setbacks in the morning session when Muzarabani struck twice in his opening spell.
Opener Mahmudul Hasan Joy was caught by Brian Bennett for 22, and experienced Mominul Haque was dismissed for 13 following a spectacular diving catch by Brad Evans at third slip, leaving the visitors at 46 for 3.
Captain Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mushfiqur Rahim provided temporary resistance, building a 61-run partnership for the fourth wicket. The stand was broken when Najmul missed a low full toss from left-arm pacer Newman Nyamhuri and was bowled for 30.
Mushfiqur was dismissed shortly before the lunch interval, caught behind by wicketkeeper Tafadzwa Tsiga off Muzarabani for 34.
The lower order offered little resistance after lunch as debutant Towhid Hridoy fell to Muzarabani for 9, marking his second single-digit score of the match. Fellow debutant Amite Hasan played fluidly for his 25 before edging Richard Ngarava to Craig Ervine.
Ngarava quickly followed by dismissing Khaled Ahmed for a duck, finishing with 3 for 32. Nyamhuri concluded the match by having Hasan Mahmud caught by Muzarabani for 15, ending a brief 23-run final partnership with Ebadot Hossain, who remained unbeaten on 12.
The foundation for Zimbabwe's victory was laid during the first two days of play. Bangladesh was bowled out for 140 in their first innings after being inserted to bat on Day 1.
Zimbabwe responded with a commanding total of 410, building a 270-run first-innings lead. Opener Innocent Kaia was named Player of the Match for his marathon innings of 140 runs from 227 balls.
Left-arm spinner Taijul Islam was the standout performer for Bangladesh in the field, claiming figures of 7 for 138 across 40.2 overs.
The two teams will now focus on the shorter formats, beginning a three-match ODI series on July 6.
