CECILIA NAYAME reports:THE Zambia under-19 cricket national team recorded their second win at the on-going International Cricket Council (ICC) Africa Division One Championship after a surprise victory over Uganda on Friday.
According to results posted on the ICC website, Zambia were surprise victors over Uganda after winning by 85 runs at New Wanderers Stadium in Namibia.
Zambia Cricket Union (ZCU) general manager Nitin Naik expressed happiness at the improvement of the team.
