Zimbabwe created cricket history by breaking the previous mark for the highest team score in T20 internationals, smashing an incredible 344-4 in 20 overs.

It was a momentous day for Zimbabwean cricket when the game was played on Wednesday at the Ruaraka Sports Club Ground in Nairobi.

Sikandar Raza hammered a 43-ball 133 not out as Zimbabwe defeated Gambia 344-4 on Wednesday at the Ruaraka Sports Club Ground in Nairobi, setting a new T20 international cricket score.

The previous international record of 314-3, achieved by Nepal against Mongolia in Hangzhou last year, was surpassed by Zimbabwe’s score in the T20 World Cup Africa Sub Regional Qualifiers. During his innings, Raza smashed 15 sixes and seven fours. He entered the game at the fall of the second wicket in the seventh over.

He equaled Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton of Namibia as the second-fastest player in T20I cricket with his century off 33 balls.

Sahil Chauhan’s 27-ball century for Estonia against Cyprus in June is still six balls faster.

With 172 against Zimbabwe in Harare in 2018, Australian opener Aaron Finch holds the record for the highest individual score in Twenty20 Internationals.

Zimbabwe achieved the largest-ever T20 international victory with 290 runs after bowling out Gambia for just 54 in 14.4 overs, setting a second record.
