A club side from Gloucestershire are waiting to see if they have made the highest-ever total in T20 cricket after piling up an incredible 417-2.<\/p>\n

Dumbleton CC, who play in the Premier One top tier division of the West of England league, recorded the mammoth total against Hatherley and Reddings CC on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Opener Ewan Gegg smashed 206 not out off 55 balls, with 13 fours and 23 sixes, while Dan Holland made 122 off 37 deliveries.<\/p>\n

Dumbleton’s batters cleared the ropes 47 times in total.<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, Hatherley and Reddings CC came up short by 188 runs as they were bowled out for 229.<\/p>\n

Harry Bloomfield, who conceded 35 from his one over in Dumbleton’s innings, became the third centurion of the match, striking 109 off 48 balls.<\/p>\n

“We all said it’s one of the weirdest and [most] fantastic games of cricket we’ve seen,” Gegg told BBC Radio Gloucestershire.<\/p>\n

“We don’t see it being broken for a long time. It was such an odd game.”<\/p>\n

Dumbleton are seeking clarity on whether the score counts as an official record for a T20 game, pointing to another high-scoring T20 game in India in 2017 where Maavi finished on 416-2.<\/a><\/p>\n

Last September England amassed 304-2<\/a> – a record total in a T20 International between two Test nations – in their win against South Africa, while the highest total recorded in a professional game was 349-5 set by Indian side Baroda in 2024.<\/p>\n

“We got a really good start with me and Tom Kelly [64 off 25 balls] and we kept going with the momentum,” 23-year-old Gegg added. <\/p>\n

“We had quite a good batting order so we thought we’d keep flying, keep going and it got to a point where I didn’t think it was going to be on for the 200.<\/p>\n

“It got to the 15th, 16th over and I thought there’s a slight chance if things go extremely well and luckily they did.”<\/p>\n

As for why the game ended up being such a high scoring affair, Gegg believed a few factors were at play.<\/p>\n

“We wanted to win to try and get a home quarter-final for the next round and I don’t know whether that had a part to play, but it was just so random,” he said.<\/p>\n

“Our ground is known for being quite a good wicket and it is sometimes small one side.<\/p>\n

“The pink ball just seemed to go a bit further and not do as much and I think everyone just got in a bit of a mode and kept going and going.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A club side from Gloucestershire are waiting to see if they have made the highest-ever total in T20…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":680876,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-680875","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-cricket","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/680875","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=680875"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/680875\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/680876"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=680875"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=680875"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=680875"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
