Captain Sikandar Raza scored a century in 33 balls
Earlier, in the Sub Regional Africa Qualifier matches of the ICC T20 World Cup, Zimbabwe won the toss and decided to bat first. In the match played in Nairobi, Zimbabwe scored 344 runs for 4 wickets. Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza scored the maximum 133 runs for his team. Openers Brian Bennett and T. Marumani gave a record-breaking start to the team by making a partnership of 98 runs in 5.4 overs. T. Marumani scored 62 runs in 19 balls and Bennett scored 50 runs in 26 balls. Sikandar Raza completed his century in record 33 balls. He remained unbeaten after scoring 133 runs on 43 balls. He hit 15 sixes and 7 fours in this innings. Clive Mandade returned unbeaten after scoring 53 runs. He played an innings of 53 runs in 17 balls. Ryan Burl scored 25 runs in 11 balls. There were 30 fours and 27 sixes in Zimbabwe's innings, which is a record.
India's record broken
ICC has given T20 International status to all its affiliated member countries. Because of which whenever weaker countries have to play against comparatively stronger international teams, the chances of setting new records are higher. With this, Zimbabwe also became the highest scoring team in T20 among all the Test playing countries, surpassing India's 297 runs for 6 wickets against Bangladesh in Hyderabad earlier this month. Gambia's Moses Jobarteh became the most expensive bowler in this match by giving away 93 runs in four overs. Earlier in the T20 International, Kasun Rajitha of Sri Lanka had given 75 runs in four overs.
