Mountaineers seek dominance

MOUNTAINEERS, the most successful cricket franchise team in Zimbabwe’s Twenty20 domestic competitions, will be looking to maintain their dominance in the shorter version of the game when this year’s 20-overs tournament gets underway at Harare Sports Club this week.

The Mutare-based cricket franchise has won three of the last four editions of the tournament since the advent of the franchise system during the 2009/2010 season.

Given an impressive array of stars such as star bowler Tendai Chatara, aggressive batsman Hamilton Masakadza and skipper Tino Mawoyo, among others, the Gray Brent-coached side will go into this year’s tournament as favourites.
