1st Twenty20 International, Bulawayo

Zimbabwe v Bangladesh, 2012-13

At Bulawayo, May 11, 2013. First Twenty20 international: Zimbabwe won by six runs.
The first Twenty20 international staged at Queens Sports Club drew Zimbabwe's best crowd for years, and they were kept on the edge of their camper chairs by a thriller. Hamilton Masakadza anchored the innings as Taylor and Waller laid on the clean hitting, yet Zimbabwe looked out of it when Shamsur Rahman and Shakib put on 118 for the second wicket. Prosper Utseya dismissed both in the 15th over, however, and Bangladesh choked, losing Nasir and Mahmudullah to run-outs in the next. They required ten off the last, but Tinashe Panyangara allowed just three, and took two wickets.
