Get ready for an electrifying encounter as Matabeleland Tuskers (MAT) take on Mountaineers (MOU) in Match 9 of the Zimbabwe Domestic T20 2024 at the Harare Sports Club in Harare. In head-to-head encounters, Matabeleland Tuskers hold a commanding lead of 3-1 against Mountaineers. Their last clash in the previous season saw Matabeleland Tuskers emerge victorious by a convincing margin of 39 runs, which will undoubtedly give them added confidence going into this encounter.

Matabeleland Tuskers will be looking to bounce back from their recent defeat against Mid-West Rhinos in this tournament. Despite a spirited effort, they fell short by 34 runs. Batting first, Mid West Rhinos posted 152 runs on the board, with Matabeleland Tuskers managing only 118 runs in response. Ben McKinney and Milton Shumba were among the top performers for Matabeleland Tuskers, contributing with the bat, while Sean Williams led the bowling attack with three crucial wickets.

On the other hand, Mountaineers will be aiming to turn their fortunes around after a disappointing loss against Southern Rocks in their previous outing. Mountaineers posted a competitive total of 149 runs, but Southern Rocks chased it down comfortably with seven wickets in hand. Baxon Gopito and Brian Bennett provided stability to the Mountaineers' innings with their contributions, while Salma Mirza impressed with the ball, claiming two important wickets.
