He got valuable support from the top order that included Terry Duffin, Travis Friend and Dougie Marillier.

Masvingo repeated Namibia's newcomer success the previous season by finishing at the same second place behind champions Matabeleland.

[19] In the series decider between Matabeleland and Masvingo, the Matabeles retained the title at a canter, crushing their opponents by eight wickets.

Masvingo never recovered from the early heap of wickets and only Robertson Chinyengetere (34) built any substantial innings as Tawanda Mupariwa (3/29) and Greg Strydom (4/20) did most of the damage.

The Matabeles were given a solid start by Terry Duffin (20) and Tinashe Hove (56*) as Matabeleland romped to the win with more than 23 overs spare.

[20] Elton Chigumbura was the top run-scorer with 116 runs from 2 games,[21] while Christopher Mpofu was once again the leading wicket-taker with 9 wickets from 4 matches.

But there were also some absolute drubbings, with the class of Easterns too much for Southerns, who lost with 117 balls remaining, and Westerns 88 run win, bowling Northerns out for just 133.

Centrals 8/263 from 43 overs, thanks to a 94 run slog from Solomon Mire – who smashed 5 sixes and 7 fours in his 67 balls – was the highest score of the competition.

However, the countries top cricketers were involved in the ICC World Cup in the West Indies, leaving the second tier – such as Tino Mawoyo, Graeme Cremer and Timycen Maruma – with more responsibility than they could handle.

The final match of the series was between Northerns and Easterns, who both on equal number of wins, were essentially playing for the title.

Centrals, who gained many of Southerns former players, became a much more competitive team, posting 3 scores over 200; Easterns, Northerns and Westerns only reached 200 twice.
