Zimbabwe’s 24 run win over Pakistan is expected to enhance the mental strength and confidence of the players ahead of future international assignments, and President Mugabe will no doubt be tracking the team’s progress as he always does.
Meanwhile, local cricket fans have hailed team Zimbabwe’s historic test victory.
