Nah - I was watching the scores live at the time, his first full over went for I think 13, and he still got brought back. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

To bring him on to finish Mpofu's over, I can understand - you don't want the regulars to be left unable to complete their set. But he shouldn't have been brought back after that.
i strongly bliv that its the bad captaincy that has caused the last two defeats 4 zim...................masakadza is never a good captain of any sorts ............otherwise aim could hav won easily yesterday
truely iam disappointed with this arrogant performance...........iam a true zim fan frm india 😂 .... and also pls bring taylor to opening and mazakadza to his position...........it ll bring a lot of changes.............we cant blame bowling as it miss utseya .............he is a heavy miss to zim at any level .......

Welcome to the forum baiju :)

MTN Championship

Zimbabwe vs Cape Cobras

Zim (8/220, Chigumbura 53, Kemp 4/18) lead. Cobras (0/0)


220 from 45 overs is alright... 4.88 an over, it equates to 244 in an ODI. I don't think it will be enough, considering the sort of fire power in the Cobras lineup (Kemp, for a start), but who knows. If Graeme Cremer and Ray Price bowl well in tandem... it is Harare Sports Club, hopefully home ground advantage means something.

Cobras squad (likely): Andrew Puttick, Herschelle Gibbs, Henry Davids, Justin Kemp, Stiaan van Zyl, Dominic Telo, Vernon Philander, Rory Kleinveldt, Con de Lange, Tyron Henderson, Charl Langeveldt, Paul Adams.

EDIT: Finally, Zimbabwe win! :)

Excellent result! The Cobras are a side full of experienced first class players, as well as several with a good deal of international experience as well. Obviously need to see the full scorecard, but from the Zim innings, further proof that Chigumbura is more than capable of batting at 7. Remember that he was selected regularly as a specialist batsmen last year whilst he was injured. Him being at 7 helps the balance of the team no end, as effectively 5 specialist bowlers can also be selected.

An accurate match report from the folks at SuperSport.


Zimbabwe swept to a shock 39-run victory over the Nashua Cape Cobras in their MTN domestic championship match in Harare on Sunday.

The home side scored a respectable 220 for eight and then sent the Cobras packing for 181 in 41.4 overs.

Cobras captain Justin Kemp took four for 16 in overcast, humid conditions and top-scored with 57. But support from his teammates was hard to find, and the Zimbabweans deserved their success.

The home side started well in the form of a first-wicket stand of 78 between Vusi Sibanda, who scored a careful 33 off 67 balls, and Hamilton Masakadza, whose attractive 39 came off 48 balls.

Then Elton Chigumbura held the fort with his steady 53, which he scored off 52 balls with three fours and a six.

But the home side didn't have more than bits and pieces to offer for the rest of their innings.

The biggest bit came from number seven batsman Keith Dabengwa, who clipped his 33 off 31 balls.

However, that was enough to beat a Cobras team who might just have paid the price for regarding their opponents lightly.

Kemp and Henry Davids (35) shared 53 for the fourth wicket. But that was it as far as useful partnerships were concerned, and the Cobras only other double figure scores were Andrew Puttick's 26 and two efforts of 11 by Stiaan van Zyl and Vernon Philander.

Stalwart seamer Gary Brent kept Zimbabwe on top with his haul of three for 22.

An excellent result at last, now maybe the players will realise that they can win matches.

Still very much an uneven batting performance though, when will 3 or 4 players hit form at the same time ?, this win is definitely down to the bowlers with 4 of them all bowling well together on the day.

Off the bottom and the next match against Lions who Zim have overtaken.
Chakabva has been in decent form for the chevrons but hes consistantly getting out in the 20s id like to see him score big in the next game...we should beat the lions their one of the weaker teams

At first i thought the selectors where making a big mistake by promoting Chakabva like they did but i think its a good stage for him to pick up a few runs and gain a bit of some confidence before being thrust into the deep end. The S.A league is very competative because most of their national team players play at home so he gets to brush his shoulders with the likes of Gibbs, Kemp, Rudolph and this is good for the lad. He might just snatch Dabengwa's jersy in the national side cuz he has proved quite handy in the late middle order position.

Our match today is live on supersport! Does anyone have a link to a live stream for this one?

Just the one change in todays side, Brendan Taylor returning for Regis Chakabva.

After being put in by Lions it looked as though the scorers may drop off to sleep, 4-1 off 3.4 overs with Vusi Sibanda out for 2. Hamilton Masakadza has just hit 2 fours though and it is now 13-1 off 4.1.

Chakabva a bit unlucky I think, he deserved to have a bit more time in the team. I guess Dabengwa got lucky with that 30 odd he scored, it saved him.
ZIM 25-1after 5.4....its now looking a bit ok
ZCF Hall of Famer
Masakadza having a bit of a crack, which is good to see. Usually it's Vusi doing the hitting at the beginning, I suppose Masakadza has realised it's a good idea to try and get as many runs as possible in the power plays while there are still wickets in hand.

Good to see, 20 off 18. I hope he goes on to make a really big score, a century would be fantastic. Williams at the crease too, so only a matter of time before he opens up. Hopefully this is a very damaging partnership.

1/25
