BULAWAYO – A new-look Highlanders side produced a sterling performance to dispatch 10-man Hwange 3-0 in a Castle Lager Premiership match at Barbourfields Stadium yesterday.

HARARE – Graeme Cremer is a perfect gentleman and no doubt why he chose to play the gentleman’s game of cricket. Rarely do you see the reserved Zimbabwe Cricket captain make an issue about umpiring decisions but when he does you ought to give him some benefit. Zimbabwe went down to Scotland by 26 runs…
HARARE – CAPS United skipper Hardlife Zvirekwi, goalkeeper Edmore Sibanda, defender Dennis Dauda and midfielder Tafadzwa Rusike have all resumed training.
