New Delhi. In a T20 International cricket match, a bowler gave away 93 runs in his quota of 4 overs. This is the highest run by any bowler in this format. Against Zimbabwe, Gambia’s fast bowler Moses Jobarteh gave away runs at an economy rate of 23.20 in four overs. Moose has become the bowler who has spent the most runs in a T20 International match. Zimbabwe’s batsmen scored a lot of runs on his balls. Especially Captain Sikandar Raza beat him severely. Raza completed his century in 33 balls. Earlier, the unwanted record of giving away the most runs in a match in T20 was in the name of Sri Lankan bowler Kasun Rajitha. Rajita gave away 75 runs in 4 overs. Rajita had made this shameful record against Australia.
Batting first in the Africa Qualifier of the T20 World Cup, Zimbabwe scored 344 runs for 4 wickets. Set a world record for the highest score in the shortest format of T20 cricket. Team captain Sikandar Raza, who played for Punjab Kings in the IPL, made an important contribution in taking Zimbabwe to the world record score by scoring unbeaten 133 runs with the help of 15 sixes in 43 balls in this Group B match.

Raza could not break this world record of Sahil
Zimbabwe left behind Nepal’s record which had scored 314 runs against Mongolia in last year’s Asian Games. Zimbabwe hit 27 sixes and 30 fours in this match. Although Raza’s 15 sixes is not a world record for most sixes in a T20 innings, this record is in the name of Sahil Chauhan of Estonia. Sahil had hit 18 sixes against Cyprus.
The ICC has granted T20 International status to all its affiliated member nations, due to which the chances of new records being set are higher whenever weaker nations have to play against comparatively stronger international teams.
Zimbabwe made world record by winning the match by 290 runs
With this, Zimbabwe also became the team with the highest score in T20 among all the Test playing countries, surpassing India’s 297 runs for six wickets against Bangladesh in Hyderabad earlier this month. Zimbabwe won this match by 290 runs. This is the biggest win of any team in terms of runs in T20 cricket.
