Overview
- Dumbleton Cricket Club scored 417-2 in a Varistha Cheltenham Premier T20 match with Ewan Gegg unbeaten on 206 and Dan Holland on 122, and they won by 188 runs after Hatherley & Reddings were all out for 229.
- Dumbleton hit 47 sixes in their innings and the match produced a combined total of 66 sixes, while Hatherley & Reddings’ Harry Bloomfield also made 109 during the chase.
- The club and media have asked governing bodies and statisticians to confirm whether the innings will stand as an official highest-ever T20 total, with scrutiny focused on the competition’s sanctioned status and the integrity of the scorekeeping.
- Players and club officials pointed to a small boundary on one side of the ground, use of a pink ball, and a goal of securing a home quarter-final as immediate causes that helped drive the extreme scoring.
- If approved, the total would surpass other high totals cited in different record lists, including a 416-2 score recorded in India in 2017 and the professional benchmark of 349-5 by Baroda in 2024, raising questions about how records are classified across club, domestic and professional levels.
