Battle for domestic T20 honours set to get underway
All is set for another week of thrilling cricket as Zimbabwe’s top provincial sides battle for honours in the 2020/21 Domestic T20 Competition that gets underway at Harare Sports Club in the capital this Saturday.
The tournament will be held behind closed doors, with no fans permitted in the grounds as part of the bio-secure bubble protocols put in place to greatly minimise the risk of COVID-19 infection.
The first day of the competition will see Mountaineers and Eagles clashing in the morning fixture, before Tuskers and Rhinos lock horns in the afternoon game.
On Sunday, Eagles will take on Tuskers in the first game of the day, before Rhinos entertain Southern Rocks in the afternoon. Rocks and Tuskers will then meet as Rhinos face Mountaineers in the last double-header at Harare Sports Club on Monday.
Action will then move across the city to Old Hararians Sports Club on Tuesday where Eagles and Rhinos will clash in the morning, before Rocks take on Mountaineers in the afternoon.
The Wednesday morning game will pit Rocks against Eagles, while Tuskers will meet Mountaineers in the second match of the day. The T20 tournament will end on Thursday, with the third-place playoff taking place first before the top two sides meet in the final at Old Hararians Sports Club.
The morning matches are scheduled to start at 1000 hours and the afternoon games at 1400 hours.
