Test cricket is the oldest form of cricket played at international level. [1] A Test match is scheduled to take place over a period of five days, [lower-alpha 1] [lower-alpha 2] and is played by teams representing full member nations of the International Cricket Council (ICC). [5] [6]
Zimbabwe played their first test match in 1992, becoming the ninth test nation. Since then, they have played 113 test matches, compiling a record of 13 wins, 25 draws, and 75 defeats. As of March 2023, Zimbabwe's win percentage of 9% is the second-lowest of any test nation to have played at least ten matches, ahead of Bangladesh, and lower overall than any other nation except Ireland. [7] Despite being a test nation since 1992, they accepted a voluntary suspension from test cricket in 2005, [8] and did not play test cricket again until 2011.
This is a list of Zimbabwe Test cricket records. It is based on the List of Test cricket records, but concentrates solely on records dealing with Zimbabwean Test cricket team, and any cricketers who have played for that team.
The top five records are listed for each category, except for the team wins, losses, draws and ties and the partnership records. Tied records for fifth place are also included. Explanations of the general symbols and cricketing terms used in the list are given below. Specific details are provided in each category where appropriate. All records include matches played for Zimbabwe only, and are correct as of June 2020 [update] .

In cricket, two batsmen are always present at the crease batting together in a partnership. This partnership will continue until one of them is dismissed, retires or the innings comes to a close.
A wicket partnership describes the number of runs scored before each wicket falls. The first wicket partnership is between the opening batsmen and continues until the first wicket falls. The second wicket partnership then commences between the not out batsman and the number three batsman. This partnership continues until the second wicket falls. The third wicket partnership then commences between the not out batsman and the new batsman. This continues down to the tenth wicket partnership. When the tenth wicket has fallen, there is no batsman left to partner so the innings is closed.
