Matabeleland Tuskers Logan Cup: 24-year-old Antum Naqvi, leading the Mid West Rhinos, etched his name in Zimbabwean cricket history by becoming the first player from a Zimbabwean team to hit a triple century at any level of representative cricket.
The remarkable feat unfolded during the Rhinos vs Matabeleland Tuskers Logan Cup game in Harare. As play commenced on the third day, Naqvi, already standing tall at 250, propelled his team to 461 for 3 in response to Tuskers' 128. Naqvi's relentless march continued, reaching the 300-run milestone before lunch, rewriting several Zimbabwean records along the way.
His journey to 300 saw Naqvi break the Logan Cup first-class record for the highest individual score, surpassing Cephas Zhuwao's 265 in the 2017-18 season. Not stopping there, he eclipsed Ray Gripper's 279, the highest individual score by a Zimbabwean player in first-class cricket since the 1967-68 Currie Cup in South Africa.
