Houghton embarrassed by Chevrons show

Zimbabwe national cricket team coach Dave Houghton has revealed that he was left embarrassed by his team’s performance in their crashing seven wicket defeat to Namibia in their opening match of the International Cricket Council (ICC) T-20 World Cup qualifier Africa Region on Wednesday.

Houghton had said that he expected the Chevrons to win all six matches at this qualifier where Zimbabwe are the only ICC full member.

But the Chevrons struggled with both bat and ball to surrender the points.
