Sizzling Shahadat

BD A cruise to first Test victory

SPORTS REPORTER
The country's fastest bowler Shaha-dat Hossain Rajib tore through Zimbabwe A to effect an exciting 50-run victory for Bangladesh A in the first Test at Bulawayo yesterday.
It gave Bangladesh A a 1-0 lead in the three-Test series.
Shahadat recorded his best first class performance (five for 63 from 25 overs) in the home side's second innings and captain Enamul Haque Jr, whose name must have started sounding like a never-ending nightmare for the Zimbabweans, completed a match haul of ten wickets as Zimbabwe were dismissed for 248 within the first hour of the fourth and last day after they had resumed on 229 for six in pursuit of 299.
Blessings Mahwire was the first to go in the morning when 18-year-old Shahadat had him caught by Shahriar Nafees Ahmed after just three runs had been added to the overnight total. Enamul then cleaned up wicketkeeper Mufambisi (38) who was looking dangerous, on the same score. Enamul got his third victim in the innings and tenth in the match when he had Graeme
Cremer lbw (241 for nine). Campbell McMillan was snapped up by Raqib al-Hasan seven runs later as Shahadat had his first five-for in his career. Zimbabwe A's resistance lasted just ten overs on the final day as Shahadat and Enamul bowled
unchanged.
The home team had given themselves a fighting chance on Day Three when they mopped up the Bangladesh second innings for 232 after they had started the day on 209 for five.
That total was built around Tushar Imran's 52 and solid contri-
butions from Wasseluddin (46) and Mahmudullah Riyad (42).
Zimbabwe began their chase well, and moved to 77 without loss before Enamul had Vusi Sibanda stumped. Shahadat, bowling with great pace and hostility on a greentop wicket, unsettled Zimbabwe's best batsmen Terrence Duffin (56) by striking him on the helmet thrice before Duffin fell to the part-time spin of Imran.
Shahadat came back for his last spell and removed Dion Ebrahim, who finally came good with a cultured 63, with a sharp rising ball which the batsman could only fend to second slip. Shahadat earlier had Strydom caught at point first ball. SK Russell got Ervine out towards the end of the day to leave the game nicely poised.
