The Zimbabwe National Cricket Team has rewritten the history books by achieving the highest-ever team score in T20 cricket. In a dominating display, Zimbabwe, captained by Sikandar Raza, scored a colossal 344 runs against Gambia during the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Africa Sub Regional Qualifier B on October 23.
After opting to bat first at Ruaraka Sports Club Ground, Zimbabwe’s batters unleashed a relentless assault on the Gambian bowling attack, amassing a staggering 344 runs in their 20-over innings. This performance eclipsed the previous record of 314 runs, which Nepal set against Mongolia in 2023.
The remarkable total showcases Zimbabwe’s aggressive approach and sets a new benchmark in T20 cricket history.
