In an astonishing turn of events today, local cricketing giants Dumbleton Cricket Club have carved a place in sporting history by amassing a remarkable world record score of 417/2 in a T20 match in a local competition against Hatherley and Reddings Cricket Club. To cap the phenomenal innings, top-order opener Ewan Gegg remained not out on an incredible 206 from just 55 balls, powering his team to a truly unbelievable total.
The monumental effort came during the Varistha Cheltenham Premier T20 competition, and Dumbleton’s players systematically ripped the opposition’s bowlers apart as they smashed their way around the fast outfield. Officials have since been in contact with world records authorities after this unbelievably huge score, which, pending verification, stands as the highest twenty-over score ever.
