Scotland pacer Jasper Davidson claimed two wickets, leaving his mark in the opening match on Monday in the first-ever MCC tour to Zimbabwe in the modern era. The MCC secured a win in game one while Zimbabwe levelled the series in the game two held later in the day.

Davidson applied pressure in the death taking a wicket off the first ball of the last over finishing with figures of 2-32 as the MCC restricted the Rhinos to 134-7 in 20 overs. The MCC middle order chased the total with one ball to spare and six wickets in hand.

The MCC tour to Zimbabwe began in Kwekwe on 6 October with two T20s played against the Rhinos. Both teams picked up a win each with the Rhinos winning the second match by four wickets, chasing 128 in 16.2 overs. The hosts never looked to be in a spot of bother as the 127-7 on the board did not prove enough for the visitors. 

The two clubs ended the T20 series at 1-1

The 50 over match on Tuesday ended in a no result, with multiple reports citing adverse pitch conditions as a reason for adandonment, however, neither MCC nor the Rhinos have put out an official confirmation.

MCC will now face Zimbabwe A at Harare in a three day match beginning on Friday.
