List of Zimbabwe Twenty20 International cricket records

Last updated

A Twenty20 International (T20I) is a form of cricket, played between two of the international members of the International Cricket Council (ICC), in which each team faces a maximum of twenty overs. The matches have top-class status and are the highest T20 standard. The game is played under the rules of Twenty20 cricket. [1] [2] The first Twenty20 International match between two men's sides was played on 17 February 2005, involving Australia and New Zealand. Wisden Cricketers' Almanack reported that "neither side took the game especially seriously", [3] and it was noted by ESPNcricinfo that but for a large score for Ricky Ponting, "the concept would have shuddered". [4] However, Ponting himself said "if it does become an international game then I'm sure the novelty won't be there all the time". [5] This is a list of Zimbabwe Cricket team's Twenty20 International records. It is based on the List of Twenty20 International records, but concentrates solely on records dealing with the Zimbabwe cricket team. Zimbabwe played the first ever T20I in 2006.
