Notes
--> TR Gripper made his debut in First-Class matches
--> G Peck made his last appearance in First-Class matches
--> VS Solanki (2) passed 1000 runs in First-Class matches when he reached 22
--> RJ Chapman made his debut for Worcestershire in First-Class matches
--> RJ Chapman made his debut in Zimbabwe in First-Class matches
--> VS Solanki made his debut in Zimbabwe in First-Class matches
--> GA Hick reached 200 wickets in First-Class matches when he dismissed G Peck, his 3rd wicket in the Matabeleland Invitation XI second innings
This match was originally schedule for the 29-31 March 1997 but was rescheduled to enable those Matabeleland players going to Sharjah to catch their plane.
In the second innings, Streak went off after bowling one ball of his 14th over, which was completed by Rennie.
In the Worcestershire second innings, Abrams kept wicket (taking two catches) in place of Campbell, who was injured; Campbell resumed on the third morning. Thanks John Ward
