Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza Butt etched his name in cricketing history with a stunning performance in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Sub Regional Africa Qualifiers, shattering multiple records.
Raza became Zimbabwe’s first-ever T20I centurion, blazing to the milestone in just 33 balls. His spectacular innings helped propel Zimbabwe to a monumental total of 344 for 4, the highest ever in T20I history, during their match against Gambia in Nairobi on Wednesday.
Gambia, in response, crumbled under pressure, managing only 54 runs in 15 overs. Zimbabwe’s victory by 290 runs set a new record for the largest margin of victory in T20Is.
Raza’s whirlwind innings also included 15 towering sixes, placing him third in the list for most sixes in a T20I innings. His exceptional performance has set a new benchmark for both his team and the tournament.
