We have seen a team's batting collapse many times in a final match in the last one year. The best example of this is the final of Asia Cup 2023, when Sri Lanka's batting line up proved to be a huge flop. The Sri Lankan team was bowled out for 50 runs in the final of Asia Cup 2023. Team India won this match and tournament by 10 wickets. Now a similar incident has been seen in another final match. However, this was not an international match, but a T20 league match. In this match, while chasing the target of 230 runs, one team was reduced to 16 runs. Due to such a shameful defeat in the final match, the team also made many unwanted records in its name. Let us know.
The final of the Zimbabwe Domestic T20 competition was played on Saturday, March 9. The teams of Durham and Mashonaland Eagles were face to face in the title match. Durham won the toss and decided to bat first. Batting first, Durham scored 229 runs losing six wickets in 20 overs. Ollie Robinson scored 49 runs in 20 balls, Bas de Leede scored 58 runs in 29 balls and Hayden Mustard scored 46 runs in 22 balls.
Chasing the huge target of 230 runs, the Eagles team was reduced to 16 runs in 8.1 overs i.e. 49 balls. 16 runs scored by the Eagles team is the lowest score in the T20 final.
