Viva Zimbabwe!

Zimbabwe beats Pakistan!!

In the last 20 years of international cricket, six World Cups have been played, the advent of Twenty Twenty has taken the world by storm, One Day Internationals have found a need of some kind of a revolution and the format that tests every cricketer to his limit, Test Cricket, has found itself on a death bed. And while all this was unfolding, Zimbabwe, one of the underdogs of the game, after getting their test status 20 years ago, have been trying all sorts of combinations to register modest victories in either test matches or one-dayers.

Today, on 14th September, 2013, they have registered their 11th win in test match cricket. Pakistani cricketers, with their heads dropping in shame after the loss, were simply outplayed. Whether this win will do anything to Zimbabwe Cricket is anybody's guess, but it sure will make them believe that they can win.

And even though the two-match series got leveled at 1-1, Zimbabwe winning a test match at their home venue would certainly be the team to have broader smiles on their faces.

Twenty years of cricket and just 11 test wins. But if you saw the Zimbabwean spectators celebrate in the aisles after the victory, they would take that stat any day.
