Zimbabwe broke major records and made history by scoring the highest score in the T20 International.
Zimbabwe vs Gambia T20I Sikandar Raza Century Match: The work that the Zimbabwe cricket team has done today in the T20 International has never been seen before. Scoring more than 300 runs for a team in T20 International is no less than a dream but today Zimbabwe has made it a reality. In fact, Zimbabwe has scored the highest in international T20 cricket. In the match played against Gambia, Zimbabwe managed to score 344 runs in 20 overs losing only four wickets. What had never happened before.
Zimbabwe scored 344 runs in T20 international match against Gambia
Something surprising happened in the match between Zimbabwe and Gambia. Batting first, the Zimbabwe team scored 344 runs. Prior to this, this had happened only once in T20 International, when a team scored more than 300 runs. In the year 2023, Nepal team scored 313 runs against Mongolia. At the time it was believed that this record could not be broken, but now it too has been destroyed. Three Zimbabwe batsmen scored half-centuries during the match and apart from this, Sikandar Raza also scored a century.
Sikandar Raza marked a stormy century
Sikandar Raza played an explosive and classy innings of 133 runs in just 43 balls. During his innings, Sikandar hit 15 sixes and 7 fours. He remained undefeated until the end, that is, he was not eliminated at all. All the Gambian bowlers were completely defeated. The Zimbabwe batsmen did not spare any bowler and thrashed whoever came. This is the reason why the team managed to get the highest score in T20 International.
Musa Jobarteh gave away 93 runs in four overs.
Now let us know about the other records achieved in this entry. Gambia bowler Moses Jobarteh bowled the most expensive spell in T20 international cricket. He gave a total of 93 runs in his four overs and did not get any wicket. Let’s say 7 more runs were not scored, otherwise it would have been the first time a bowler has given away 100 runs in T20 International cricket. However, Musa Jobarteh’s name is still recorded in the record book. Sikandar Raza completed his century off just 33 balls. In this way, he has also become the joint second batsman to score the fastest century in T20 International. Zimbabwe hit a total of 27 sixes during the innings, which happened for the first time in T20 international cricket. However, there is still Gambian batting left and many more new records can be seen.
