Zimbabwe smash T20I record with 344-4 against Gambia
Paris, 23 Oct - Zimbabwe set a new record score for T20 international cricket when they posted a massive 344-4 against Gambia in Nairobi on Wednesday, with Sikandar Raza hammering a 43-ball 133 not out.
The Zimbabwe total in the T20 World Cup Africa Sub Regional Qualifiers eclipsed the previous international record of 314-3 set by Nepal against Mongolia in Hangzhou last year.
Raza, who came in at the fall of the second wicket in the seventh over, hit a total of seven fours and 15 sixes in his innings.
He reached his century off 33 balls which equals Namibia's Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton as the second-fastest in T20I cricket.
It remains six balls slower than Sahil Chauhan's 27-ball hundred for Estonia against Cyprus in June.
Australian opener Aaron Finch holds the record for highest individual score in T20Is with 172 against Zimbabwe in Harare in 2018.
