New Delhi.
It is common to hit fours and sixes in cricket and the people present in the stadium also want the same, if 57 boundaries are hit in a 20 over match then it is amazing. Such a miracle happened when the Zimbabwean batsman hit 27 sixes and 30 fours in a T20 match. Zimbabwe also broke many records and scored 344 runs for 4 wickets, which is the world record for the highest score in T20 International matches.
This feat was done by Zimbabwe in Kenya’s capital Nairobi on October 23 last year and Gambia became its victim. Zimbabwe batted first in this match of the ICC T20 World Cup Sub Regional Africa Qualifier. Openers Brian Bennett (50) and T Marumani (62) scored 98 runs at a very fast pace, but the real storm came when Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza took the field. Sikandar Raza scored a century in just 33 balls in this match. This was the second fastest century in T20 International matches. He played an inning of 133 runs in 43 balls, in which he hit 15 sixes and 7 fours.
In this record game of Zimbabwe, Clive Mndade also scored 53 runs in 17 balls. He made 8 out of 17 balls cross the boundary. Remained unbeaten with 5 skyscraper sixes and 3 fours. There were 27 sixes in this innings of Zimbabwe. This is a world record in T20 International matches. Zimbabwe scored 282 runs in this match with fours and sixes. This is a world record for T20 International. After the stormy pace of Zimbabwe’s batsmen, the bowlers were also on fire. Zimbabwe’s bowlers reduced Gambia’s innings to just 54 runs. In this way he created history by winning the match by 290 runs.
