The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Sub Regional Africa Qualifier Group B 2024 (for the T20 World Cup 2026) concludes Thursday with a triple-header in Nairobi, Kenya. All three fixtures are inconsequential as record-breaking Zimbabwe and hosts Kenya have already sealed the top two spots, deservingly booking their respective spots in the regional final next year.

But the fight is still on for the regional heavyweights, Zimbabwe and Kenya. They meet in the match 14th match at Nairobi’s historic Gymkhana Club Ground to decide the Group B winners. It’s a game for one-upmanship.
On the penultimate day (October 23) of the Sub Regional Africa Qualifier Group B, Zimbabwe posted 344/4 against the Gambia to create a new batting record (highest innings total in a T20I innings). The previous high was Nepal’s 314/3 against Mongolia at the Hangzhou 2023 Asian Games. On October 12, India scored 297/6 against visiting Bangladesh at Hyderabad for the highest T20I total in a match featuring Test-playing nations.
In the one-sided match at Ruaraka Sports Club Ground, Zimbabwe skipper Sikandar Raza hit 15 sixes and seven fours in his unbeaten 43-ball knock for 133 runs. Three other batters, openers Brian Bennett (50 off 26) and Tadiwanashe Marumani (62 off 19), and Clive Madande (53 not out off 17) slammed half-centuries.
The Gambia, who forfeited two matches earlier in the tournament, were dismissed for 54 all out in 14.4 for a 290-run win — another world record (biggest win by runs).
With four wins in four and having achieved a seemingly unsurmountable Net Run Rate of +11.055, Zimbabwe will start favourites against fellow unbeaten side Kenya. But in the Shem Ngoche-led Kenya, Zimbabwe are likely to face their biggest test yet. Kenya have a NRR of +4.951.
The last time these two teams met in a T20I match, at Windhoek on November 30, 2023, Zimbabwe posted 217/4 then restricted Kenya to 107/8 for a 110-run win.
