They won the first Test against Pakistan at Peshawar by seven wickets. The said win was their third win in Test cricket and the second against Pakistan.

Pakistan scored 296 in their first innings with Heath Streak being the pick of the bowlers by picking up four wickets. In reply, Zimbabwe were bundled out for 238 and Pakistan had a lead of 58 in the first innings. Neil Johnson scored a brilliant century and led Zimbabwe to a total of 238.
