Zimbabwe’s provincial cricket giants will switch their attention to the shortest format on Monday, when the 2025/26 Domestic T20 Competition bursts into life at Harare Sports Club.
All five teams – Eagles, Mountaineers, Rhinos, Southern Rocks and Tuskers – will be out to seize early momentum in what promises to be a thrilling week of explosive cricket.
The tournament gets underway with an Eagles-Tuskers clash at 0930 on Monday, 8 December, before champions Rhinos begin their title defence against Mountaineers in the afternoon match at 1345.
Each matchday through to Saturday will feature both morning and afternoon fixtures, except for Thursday, which has been set aside as a rest day.
The Domestic T20 Competition had originally been scheduled to start in January, but Zimbabwe Cricket brought it forward as part of Zimbabwe’s preparations for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, to be co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka from February next year.
As a result, the Logan Cup and Pro50 Championship fixtures that were to be played between 9 and 14 December have been postponed, with new dates to be announced in due course.
