Zimbabwe win an amazing match of see-saw battle

it is all over as Zimbabwe pull off the first upset of World Cup 1999

Olonga picks up three wickets in an over and Campbell's gamble pays off!

what a match!

Match State: Zimbabwe win by 3 runs

it is now going to be extremely difficult for India to qualify for the super leagues

the only way India can get to the super leagues is by winning all the remaining matches. So is the case for Sri Lanka

Zimbabwe, the dark horses now have pretty good chance to get to the super leagues
