NPL 2023

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.

Ya as Mel said they were away for the first half of the tournament.

Some of the youngsters who weren’t in the top 10;

Madhevere - 390 runs from 8 innings at 55.71
Madande - 238 runs from 7 innings at 47.60
Shumba - 195 runs from 9 innings at 32.50
Munyonga - 393 runs from 9 innings at 43.67
Bawa - 252 runs from 8 innings at 31.50
Bennett - 278 runs from 5 innings at 69.50
Marumani - 207 runs from 5 innings at 41.40

Bennett looks head and shoulders above the rest

Bawa I understand but averaging in the early 30s at this level is very concerning for Shumba. I wonder if he will ever be consistent again.

Jeez

I believe Welch has been released form his Leicestershire contract a few weeks early. Playing for Uprising today. Welcome back home Nick. Hopefully an exciting future for him here.

Mutare have picked up Schadendorf from Scorpions (who aren't in the T20 league), and also the younger Matthew Welch is also playing for them. First we've seen of him for a while.

Good to see Nick Welch in Zim

Mumba (Kadoma) has gone to Takashinga 1, which looks the strongest side now on paper.

Surprised no-one has picked up Victor Chirwa (unless I'm mistaken) would have loved to see how he does at t20

[CalZim]

Kaitano has gone to Uprising as well from Kadoma. He had a solid NPL season with the bat, hope he can find some form again.

He usually plays for Uprising in the Harare league I think. As does Mumba for Takashinga.

Agree on Chirwa. Hope he gets a long run for Rhinos this year. I'm intrigued to see whether he's corrected his bowling action or not.

Mhlanga with a 5fer in 3.2 overs
