[9] Tinotenda having never played a professional T20 match before,walked into the crease at number nine position during Zimbabwe's 19th over of the batting innings,as Zimbabwe were reeling at precarious position at 120/7,further needing 13 runs to win in 7 deliveries in order to chase down a target of 134,albeit a low scoring affair. [10] He played a blistering innings with a late blitz into the final over of the match by taking on the opposition with a fearless temperament,scoring all of the winning runs in the final over to seal Zimbabwe a thrilling consolation win after having already lost the series 1-2.
