West Indies Leg-spinner Devendra Bishoo proved Zimbabwe’s arch-rival once more as he spun the West Indies to a 117-run victory in the first Test at Queens Sports Club on Tuesday. Bishoo followed up his five-wicket haul for just 79 runs in the first innings with figures of 4 wickets for 105 runs in the second, as Zimbabwe were bowled out for 316 to lose the match inside four days. While Zimbabwe was once again blameworthy of some soft dismissals, which included two calamitous run-outs, Bishoo played a key role in serving through the Zimbabwean middle order. When Chris Mpofu was caught on the boundary off the bowling of Roston Chase for 33, the West Indies took a 1-0 lead in the two-match series was caught on the boundary off the bowling of Roston Chase for 33, the West Indies took a 1-0 lead in the two-match series. "After seeing how Zimbabwe bowled on the first day, I knew I would have a big role to play in the match," said Bishoo. "But it was important to be patient on this pitch, and stick to a plan."

After putting up more of a fight with the bat in their second innings, when Brendan Taylor and Hamilton Masakadza scored half-centuries, Zimbabwe was left to rue their performance on the second day when they were bowled out for 159 in reply to West Indies’ first innings of 219.
