Musa Jobarteh: One cannot predict what will happen in cricket. That is why it is called a game of uncertainties. On October 23, something happened which was recorded in the pages of history. Records were recorded in the T20 match played between Gambia and Zimbabwe. In this match, a bowler was beaten so much that a shameful record was registered in his name for giving away the most runs. This is the bowler who seems to be a new name for the cricket lovers, because this bowler was never in the news before.

This is the biggest score of any team in a T-20 international match. The previous record was in the name of Nepal, it had scored 314 runs against Mongolia.
