South Africa Wins First Test Over Zimbabwe by 328 Runs

South Africa dominated Zimbabwe in the first Test in Bulawayo, winning by 328 runs after setting a daunting target of 537. All-rounder Corbin Bosch was the standout performer, scoring an unbeaten century and taking his maiden five-wicket haul, becoming the fifth South African to achieve this all-round feat in a Test match. Debutant seamer Codi Yusuf also made an impact with three wickets in Zimbabwe's second innings. Zimbabwe struggled with their bowling attack due to the absence of fast bowler Blessing Muzarabani and relied heavily on spinners, but they could not withstand the pressure from South Africa's strong batting and bowling performances. Wiaan Mulder contributed with a fluent 147, and debutant Lhuan-dre Pretorius scored 153 in the first innings. Despite some resistance from Zimbabwe's captain Craig Ervine and Wellington Masakadza, their efforts were insufficient to challenge South Africa's dominance throughout the match.
