Harare [Zimbabwe], September 27 : George Munsey put on an absolute masterclass at the Harare Sports Club on Day 6 of the second season of the Zim Afro T10, as he scored the first century ever in the history of the competition, which helped the Harare Bolts post a record total, and in the process knock out the Durban Wolves.
After that, the Jo'Burg Bangla Tigers were clinical against the Bulawayo Brave Jaguars, and the NYS Lagos also put in a fine all-round performance to pick up an important win against the Cape Town Samp Army.
Batting first, the Harare Bolts made good use of the conditions, and started brightly. Lahiru Milantha (13) and Janishka Perera (24) scored freely in the initial overs, before George Munsey decided to take charge. The Scotsman, who is well known for his ability to hit a long ball, put on a masterclass in attacking, as he scored a 38-ball 100, and remained unbeaten. '
Munsey smashed 10 maximums and six boundaries, as the Bolts posted a record 173/2 in 10 overs. In response, the Wolves made a solid start as well as Sharjeel Khan (25) and Will Smeed (16) attacked from the get-go. Colin Munro added a quickfire 32, after which the Bolts' bowling attack tightened the screws and closed out a comfortable 54-run win, with Richard Gleeson finishing as the pick of the bowlers with figures of 2/2.
In the second game of the day, there were more runs, of course, as the Jo'Burg Bangla Tigers' top order put in a remarkable performance. The duo of Hazratullah Zazai (49*) and captain Sikandar Raza (51*) played freely, and ensured the Bulawayo Brave Jaguars' bowlers would not have much to cheer about. The two of them stitched together a fantastic unbeaten 108-run stand for the third wicket, which propelled the score to 128/2.
