Nairobi [Kenya], October 23 (ANI): Zimbabwe registered the highest score in the shortest format of cricket, amassing 344/4 in their 20 overs against Gambia in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Africa Sub-Regional Qualifier B.
Sikandar Raza smashed an unbeaten 133 runs off just 43 balls, hitting 15 sixes, as Zimbabwe set a new T20I record in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Africa Sub-Regional Qualifier B match against Gambia.
Zimbabwe’s total of 344/4 surpassed the previous record of 314/3 set by Nepal against Mongolia in 2023.
Earlier this month, Zimbabwe had entered the top five when they scored 286/5 against Seychelles. A week before that, India made the list with their massive total of 297/6 against Bangladesh.
Raza’s century is the first by a Zimbabwean player in men’s T20Is, with Dion Myers’ 96 against Rwanda being the previous highest score for the team. Raza’s 15 sixes are the joint-fourth most by a player in men’s T20Is.
Zimbabwe’s record-breaking innings included 27 sixes, the most ever in a men’s T20I, surpassing the 26 sixes hit by Nepal against Mongolia during their 314/3 innings last year. (ANI)
