Bangladesh whitewash Zimbabwe

Bangladesh has whitewashed Zimbabwe by defeating the visitors by 186 runs in the third Test match of the series in Chittagong.

Zimbabwe scored 374 and 262 while Bangladesh 502 and 319 in the match. 

The final wicket fell in the 85th over when Natsai M'shangwe was trapped lbw by Shafiul Islam. Craig Ervine, Richmond Mutumbami and Tinashe Panyangara also fell the same way while Shingi Masakadza had his off stump pegged back. 

Regis Chakabva was the sole source of resistance, making 89 off 181 balls with seven fours and a six. He hardly played a false shot despite several leg-before appeals, surviving through two reviews, and a chance on 21 when Mushfiqur Rahim dropped a sharp chance.  

For Bangladesh, there were two wickets each for Shafiul, Rubel Hossain, Jubair Hossain and Shuvagata Hom.  The hosts defeated the visiting team in first two matches to clinch the series 2-0. 

This was the first time Bangladesh scored 300-plus in both innings as well as scoring an aggregate of 822 runs, their highest for a Test match. They ended the series with 1,858 runs, their highest in a single series.
