Zhuwao blasts his way to contention

CEPHAS Zhuwao blasted himself into contention for a place in the squad for the cricket World Cup qualifiers after scoring 131 runs off just 52 balls in the first of the four-match one-day international series between Zimbabwe A and Kenya A at Mutare Sports Club yesterday.

After the tourists, who are at full strength, set up Zimbabwe a winning target of 220 runs from 50 overs, the hosts raced home in just 23.1 overs thanks mainly to Zhuwao’s blistering knock.
