Zimbabwe seized the initiative on the first day of the one‑off Test in Harare. Innocent Kaia made an impressive fifty. Fast bowler Brendon Bennett picked up early wickets. The hosts kept the pressure on Saturday. Kaia added additional runs. Bennett claimed additional scalps. By the close of Day 2 Zimbabwe were ahead by a clear margin. Bangladesh’s batsmen found it difficult to build steady partnerships.
Bangladesh still hopes Litton Das will play in the limited‑overs series upcoming. The Test kicks off Bangladesh’s 2026 tour of Zimbabwe. After that, the team will travel to the Asia Cup.
