Monday's match was originally scheduled to be held under lights, but was changed to a day game because the stadium's new floodlights were not functional.

The venue is due to host six World Cup matches in February-March, including two quarter-finals.

Zimbabwe suffered early blows in their run chase, losing three top-order batsmen inside the first 10 overs.

Shakib introduced spin in the fourth over and the move yielded immediate results as Razzak removed opener Chamu Chibhabha with his fourth delivery.

Razzak had Hamilton Masakadza stumped by Rahim, before dismissing the other opener, Brendan Taylor, for 15.

Utseya tried to repair the damage with his 101-ball knock but ran out of partners in the end.
