NPL 2023

[CalZim]

One to watch this season is Victor Chirwa. Saw him tear through Kwekwe with bat and ball. He is only 19.

Can see him having a very good season playing for Kadoma.

Victor Chirwa, leading wicket taker. About time I got something right

Really enjoyed this seasons NPL, lots of positives to take from it and standard was much better than expected. Mbizo didn't really represent the Midlands well but that's the best we have at the minute....Kwekwe would have done better....just saying

Matthew Campbell mania can get some momentum behind it.

Was extremely poor with the bat as far as averages go.

Probably 2 teams too many in hindsight.

Agreed though, a pretty enjoyable filler for the winter. If there is any justice than a lot of the good performers who we have never really seen at franchise level will get a chance over the next couple of months.


There is a 2-week NPL T20 starting this weekend. The top 8 sides (Except Amakhosi have swapped with Kadoma for some reason) are involved.

Franchise starting mid-October.

T20, floodlights at HSC, the potential is there lol. Come on ZC.

Goes on wins rather than NRR, both had 6 wins but Amakhosi beat Kadoma (in that walkover match) so they qualified for the t20.

Although I'd say Kadoma are the better side, especially with their additions halfway through season.

Confirmed the T20 final will be under the lights. First properly 'local' floodlit cricket!

The ZC app and its MVP calculation reckons Brandon James was the best all-rounder. I hope he has the adequate means to please Mr Singo and get a spot in the Tuskers side

I haven’t followed this at all, not do I know much about this tournament, but isn’t it worrisome that none of Madhevere, Marumani, or Shumba are in the top 10 runs scores list?

Did they play the games.

They were on the emerging team tour to South Africa which occurred during the NPL. Madhevere scored two tons in the NPL.

Oh yes

Worthy of the same emoji pretty women might get haha.

Same kind of women like Kriterion_BD’s mate Monira would get on her picture with super thick kajal.
