After losing the toss, Zimbabwe batted first, with Bennett leading the score with 44 runs as the home side finished their innings at 170-6 in 20 overs at Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo. In their response, Yasir Ali from the middle order was the only Bangladeshi batsman to shine, scoring 54 runs before becoming one of Ngarava's four victims.
The tourists were skittled out for 138, with six balls still to play. The teams will meet again on Friday and Sunday, with Zimbabwe pursuing a treble across all formats. In Harare, they won a one-off Test and subsequently a ODI series by 2-1.
