Hamilton Masakadza bid adieu to international cricket in style with a record to his name. Masakadza scored a 42-ball 71 against Afghanistan on Friday at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, Chattogram, registering a record to his name. The Zimbabwe skipper’s 71 is the highest by a batsman in T20I cricket in his farewell match. The seven-wicket win also ended Afghanistan’s winning streak in T20I cricket.
The Zimbabwe skipper was congratulated by Rashid Khan, Mohammad Nabi and other Afghanistan players as he walked back to the dressing room after his match-winning knock.
Masakadza retires as the 15th highest T20I run-scorer and the highest run-scorer for Zimbabwe with 1,662 runs to his name from 66 innings at an average of 25.96 and 11 half-centuries.
