Zimbabwe delivered a dominant performance in the one-off Test against Bangladesh at Harare Sports Club, winning by an innings and 85 runs. This victory marked their biggest win in Test history, eclipsing the previous record set just eight months ago against Afghanistan.

Innocent Kaia was named Player of the Match for his career-best 140 in the first innings, setting up Zimbabwe's commanding position. The hosts bowled out Bangladesh twice in three days, securing their second consecutive Test win.

The triumph at Harare continues a trend for Zimbabwe, as three of their four largest innings victories have occurred at this venue. The team's resurgence in the longest format has been remarkable, with two record wins in their last two Tests.
