279 in 146 balls: Zimbabwe T20I captain’s son smashes 20 sixes in 50-over U14 game

Eesa, son of Sikandar Raza, recently delivered a legendary under-14 performance for Hellenic Academy in a fifty-over fixture against CBC. The young skipper nearly reached a triple century, accumulating 279 runs from 146 deliveries during a marathon innings lasting 253 minutes.

His remarkable knock featured thirty boundaries and twenty maximums, allowing him to amass 240 runs purely through boundary shots. Entering at number three during the second over, Eesa found a crucial partner in Tawananyasha Zvobgo, whose contribution of 92 runs from 66 balls helped build a massive fourth-wicket partnership of 307 runs.

Hellenic Academy ultimately posted a formidable total of 518 runs before dismissing their opponents for a mere 85, securing a dominant victory by 433 runs.
