Initially, there were 18000 18000 Zimbabwe supporters.

After the first inning, 2 3 × 36000 = 24000 \dfrac{2}{3} \times 36000 = 24000 spectators were left.

Among these, 2 5 × 24000 = 9600 \dfrac{2}{5} \times 24000 = 9600 spectators are Zimbabwean supporters.

This means that 18000 − 9600 = 8400 18000-9600 = \boxed{8400} Zimbabwean supporters left the stadium
