Result: Eagles won by three wickets

Tinashe Kamunhukamwe smashed 75 from 56 balls as Eagles beat Tuskers by three wickets in a Pro50 Championship 2026/27 match at Takashinga Cricket Club in Harare, avenging their heavy defeat at the same ground two days earlier.

Put in by Eagles, Tuskers were bowled out for 205 in 44.3 overs. Nkosana Mpofu made 36 and Luke Jongwe finished unbeaten on 33, while Tawanda Maposa hit 30 from 19 balls late on. Tony Munyonga took 4-53, and Munashe Zata claimed 3-26 from 6.3 overs.

Tuskers were 109-6 when captain Milton Shumba fell for five, and the lower order could only lift them so far.

Eagles’ reply was swift. Kamunhukamwe struck ten fours and three sixes, and Marshall Takodza added 21 from 14 balls as the openers raced to 37 inside five overs. Kudzai Maunze (31), Rodney Mupfudza (31) and Munyonga (32) kept the rate above six an over.

A late wobble nearly made it interesting. Eagles lost three wickets for one run, slipping from 203-4 to 204-7, but Faraz Akram and Kudakwashe Macheka stayed calm to see them home in the 32nd over, with Maposa taking two wickets in the collapse.

Rhinos: 310-8 (50 overs). Nyasha Mayavo 88, Ahsan Aqil Ali 76, Tapiwa Mushope 38; Tendai Chatara 3-35, Victor Nyauchi 1-77

Mega Market Mountaineers: 294-8 (50 overs). Timycen Maruma 159, Simbarashe Mudzengerere 69*, Nyamugure 31; Nkosilathi Nungu 4-61, Manson Chikowero 2-35

Result: Rhinos won by 16 runs

Timycen Maruma hit a magnificent 159, but Rhinos held their nerve to beat Mega Market Mountaineers by 16 runs in Kwekwe.

Put in by the Mountaineers, Rhinos made 310-8. Captain Ahsan Aqil Ali struck 76 from 76 balls before Nyasha Mayavo, the wicketkeeper, hit 88 from 63 to drive the innings. Tapiwa Mushope added 38, and Tendai Chisoro’s unbeaten 21 from nine balls provided a late flourish. Tendai Chatara took 3-35 for the Mountaineers.

The reply began disastrously. Four wickets fell for 32 runs inside eight overs, with Nkosilathi Nungu removing Alistar Frost and Ronak Patel, and the Mountaineers were 95-6 in the 24th over.

Maruma then took charge. He faced 121 balls, hitting nine fours and nine sixes, and shared a stand of 187 with Simbarashe Mudzengerere, who made an unbeaten 69 from 78 balls. When Nungu bowled Maruma in the 49th over at 282-7, the contest was effectively over, and the Mountaineers finished 16 short on 294-8.

Nungu ended with 4-61, while Manson Chikowero took 2-35.
