Tharindu -

Try this

 exten => _9XXXXXXXXXX,1,Dial(Zap/1/9wwww${EXTEN:1})

Basically - dial a the extension prepending a 9 and wait 4 * 0.5 seconds
but strip the first digit from the extension (you have manually dialed the
9 so it has to be stripped off).

You can play with the number of 'w' (a mini-wait command 8-) to get the
proper timing.
