BULAWAYO – Richard Ngarava and Blessing Muzarabani combined in a devastating display of fast bowling as Zimbabwe defended 170 to beat Bangladesh by 32 runs in the opening T20 International at Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo on Wednesday, giving the hosts a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. On a surface that offered little obvious assistance to the seamers, Zimbabwe’s pace spearheads extracted steep bounce and maintained relentless accuracy, sharing eight wickets as Ban

HARARE – A proper ding-dong battle with its own soundtrack provided by the amazing fans at Castle Corner lit up the Harare night as Zimbabwe edged Bangladesh out, defending a total of 247 and wrapping up the ODI series 2-0 with a game to play. Ben Curran produced only the seventh instance of a Zimbabwean batting through the entire 50 overs but his 111 not out only became match-winning after a never-say-die bowling effort from his team-mates. At 169 for 3, they were being ba

HARARE – It was Newman Nyamhuri's day - with bat and ball, and in the field. First, he scored a career-best 33 from No. 9 to push Zimbabwe from 70 for 8 to 141. Then he took two catches in the deep, the first of them an agile effort while tip-toeing the fine-leg boundary. Nyamhuri also broke Bangladesh's 49-run fourth-wicket stand to open the floodgates for a memorable win. Zimbabwe successfully defended 141, beating Bangladesh by 25 runs. It was a bowlers' ODI played on

HARARE – Zimbabwe registered their biggest win in Test cricket as they thrashed Bangladesh by an innings and 85 runs on the third afternoon in the one-off Test in Harare. After conceding a first-innings lead of 270, Bangladesh collapsed once again and were all out for 185 in the second innings, with Blessing Muzarabani picking up 4 for 65. It was the first time that Zimbabwe won two successive Tests by an innings margin. In their previous Test, in October 2025, they had b

From unforgettable giant-killing runs on the pitch to a massive multimillion-dollar stadium blitz off it, the Chevrons are moving at warp speed. With the country gearing up to co-host the absolute biggest tournaments on the planet, Zimbabwe isn't just participating in the global game anymore—they are positioned to run it. Here is why Zimbabwe is officially cricket's most exciting growth story right

HARARE – Zimbabwe Cricket has named a 15-man squad for the one-off Test against Bangladesh, with left-arm fast bowler Richard Ngarava set to captain the national side for the first time in the longest format. The match is scheduled to start on Sunday at Harare Sports Club, marking Zimbabwe’s return to Test cricket following their emphatic innings-and-73-run victory over Afghanistan at the same venue in October last year.

By SportsCast Writer HARARE – Donald Campbell, the headmaster of Lilfordia School and young brother of former Zimbabwe cricket captain Alistair Campbell, has announced a permanent campus ban on parent Lotshe Mangena following his involvement in a disturbing violent incident at another school where one of his children is also a learner. Police on Tuesday announced the arrest of 50-year-old Mangena after he stormed a rugby pitch at Eaglesvale High School while threateningly

BY ENOCK MUCHINJO HARARE – Like Brendan Taylor, Tarisai Musakanda has been honest enough about the personal turbulence that threatened to tear apart not only his cricket career, but also himself. Musakanda was last week named in the two squads for the Zimbabwe ‘A’ tour of Bangladesh this June, returning to the reckoning for the first time since he last featured at any level of international cricket nearly four years ago. Tarisai Musakanda enjoyed a fruitful season with

BY SPORTSCAST WRITER HARARE – Given his peerless all-round talent, Zimbabwe’s newest sporting hero Brian Bennett could well have been a prolific point-scorer in the green-and-white jersey of the Rugby World Cup-bound Sables. The Southern African country’s T20 World Cup star is instead now a prolific run-scorer for the national cricket team, popularly known as the Chevrons. Flyhalf, Bennett’s position in his rugby days, is the heartbeat of the team, the play-maker, the m

South Africa's Tristan Stubbs and George Linde walk off the field after their cricket win despite the heroics of Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza (centre) [Manish Swarup/AP] DELHI – South Africa survived a brilliant all-round show by Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza to record a five-wicket win over their neighbours and set up a T20 World Cup semifinal against New Zealand. South Africa survived an early wobble to overcome the spirited Zimbabwe, who scored 153-7, in their last Su

CHENNAI – Brian Bennett (pictured) vs Jasprit Bumrah. Pressure? What pressure? Bennett sends the white ball flying over the wide long-on boundary. More than 27,000 spectators at Chepauk are stunned into silence. India are not used to seeing their bowling spearhead being treated this way. Bennett raises his third fifty-plus score in his last four innings in this T20 World Cup across varied conditions in Sri Lanka and India. His team-mates in the dugout are up on their feet
