Something amazing happened in the match between Zimbabwe and Gambia. Zimbabwe's team scored 344 runs while batting first. Before this, it happened only once in T20 International when a team scored more than 300 runs. In the year 2023, Nepal's team scored 313 runs against Mongolia. Then it was believed that this record might never be broken, but now it has also been broken. Three Zimbabwe batsmen scored half-centuries during the match and apart from this, Sikandar Raza scored a century.
Sikandar Raza hit a stormy century.
Sikandar Raza played a powerful and explosive innings of 133 runs in just 43 balls. During his innings, Sikandar hit 15 sixes and 7 fours. He remained unbeaten till the end, i.e. he did not get out. Every bowler of Gambia was thrashed. Zimbabwe's batsmen did not spare any bowler, whoever came, was thrashed.

Musa Jobarteh conceded 93 runs in 4 overs.
Now let's know about the other records made in this innings. Gambia's bowler Musa Jobarteh bowled the most expensive spell in T20 International cricket. He conceded a total of 93 runs in his four overs and did not get any wickets.
