Shoaib Bashir's Heroic Six-Wicket Haul Leads England to Victory over Zimbabwe

Shoaib Bashir took a career-best six wickets, leading England to an innings and 45 runs victory over Zimbabwe in a test match at Trent Bridge.

England triumphed over Zimbabwe by an innings and 45 runs in a test match at Trent Bridge, driven by Shoaib Bashir's remarkable six-wicket haul in the second innings.

The breakthrough moment for England came when Bashir dismissed Zimbabwe's Ben Curran just after lunch, triggering a collapse. Zimbabwe struggled despite brief resistance from Wesley Madhevere and Sikandar Raza.

As Bashir's bowling dismantled Zimbabwe's lineup, the focus shifts to England's approaching One-Day International series against the West Indies, starting Thursday at Edgbaston.
