A BRILLIANT 191 not out by Tashinga Musekiwa, followed by a five-wicket haul from Victor Chirwa, brought Rimuka a rousing 178-run victory over Scorpions in their National Premier League (NPL) match at Old Hararians on Sunday.
Rimuka made a poor start, losing their first two batters for 23 runs, but then Takudzwanashe Kaitano — the maker of a double-century last Wednesday — was joined by Musekiwa and they turned the match around, adding 123 for the third wicket before Kaitano was out for 78 off 72 balls.
At Mutare Sports Club, Clive Chitumba played a magnificent innings of 173 as Westside achieved a hard-fought 98-run victory over Rainbow.
