After Shafiul Islam&rsquo;s strikes put Zimbabwe on the back foot early in their chase of 270, Ziaur&rsquo;s five for 30 snuffed out any hope of a revival as the hosts were bowled out for 148. <img alt="" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/may/Nasir-Hossain.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 295px;" /> Bangladesh&rsquo;s Nasir Hossain plays on the off-side vs Zimbabwe at Bulawayo yesterday.

Although Bangladesh have a healthy record at Queens Sports Club, winning six out of eight one-dayers before this encounter, the margin by which Zimbabwe lost led captain Brendan Taylor to brand the loss a &ldquo;shocker&rdquo;. &ldquo;We were happy restricting them to 269 (for eight) on a flat wicket, but we didn&rsquo;t bat well,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;There&rsquo;s no room for excuses. We kept finding ways to get out.&rdquo; Despite losing Regis Chakabva and Pakistan-born debutant Sikandar Raza in the first four overs, Zimbabwe recovered through Taylor&rsquo;s 33 and Hamilton Masakadza&rsquo;s 38. However, when Taylor was bowled by Abdur Razzak the floodgates soon opened, as Zimbabwe lost four wickets without adding a run to slump to 93 for seven. Brief Scores: Bangladesh 269-8 in 50 overs (Nasir Hossain 68; S Masakadza 4-51) beat Zimbabwe 148 all out in 32.1 overs (Hamilton Masakadza 38; Ziaur Rahman 5-30) by 121 runs

Ziaur Rahman's maiden five-wicket haul in just his fourth one-day international saw Bangladesh record a comprehensive 121-run victory over Zimbabwe in the first of a three-match series in Bulawayo.
