Bangladesh v Zimbabwe, 2nd Test, Khulna

All-round Shakib Helps Bangladesh Clinch Series 2-0

Khulna: Bangladesh defeated Zimbabwe by 162 runs in the second Test in Khulna on Friday to take a winning 2-0 lead in the three-match series.

The tourists, set a target of 314, were bowled out for 151 in their second innings after tea on the fifth day with Shakib Al Hasan claiming five wickets for 44 runs.

Shakib Al Hasan became the third player in Test history to hit a century and claim 10 wickets in a match. He followed England allrounder Ian Botham and Pakistan's Imran Khan.

The left-hander, who scored 137 in the first innings to set up Bangladesh's first innings total of 433, took out the dangerous Hamilton Masakadza (61) in the last session to spark a collapse as Zimbabwe lost their last five wickets for 15 runs.

Masakadza, who scored 158 in Zimbabwe's first innings, was the only visiting batsman to provide some resistance. Shakib's fellow left-arm spinner, Taijul Islam, who took three wickets in the first innings, bagged three more in the second.

Bangladesh, who won the first Test in Dhaka by three wickets, had declared their second knock at 248-9 before lunch.

The third and final Test starts in Chittagong on November 12.
