Run-fest Pro 50 bowls off in style

THE 2023/24 edition of the Pro 50 Championship started off on a run-fest with at least five half centuries being scored on the first day on Friday with a century from Rhinos’s Antum Naqvi capping the eventful first weekend of the season.

Tarisai Musakanda scored a 75-ball 83, while Ryan Burl’ 59 off 52 balls helped the Kwekwe-based side, Rhino’s to four-wicket win away at Mutare Sports Club against Mountaineers on Friday.

No half ton came from the home team but rather in Harare where Eagles hosted Southern Rocks at Takashinga Cricket Club in Highfield where Kudzai Maunze scored 65 runs from 82 balls.
