Streak faces axe

THE entire technical team of the Zimbabwe national cricket side are on the brink of losing their jobs, following their failure to lead the team to the International Cricket Council World Cup finals, NewsDaySport has been told.

A defeat to the United Arab Emirates on Thursday last week saw Zimbabwe squander a golden opportunity to clinch the tenth and final spot to the England and Wales tournament.

Going into that match, which was Zimbabwe’s last in the Super Six stage, Zimbabwe needed to beat the minnows and qualify, but disappointingly the team succumbed to a three-run defeat in front of a shell-shocked full house at the Harare Sports Club.
