The 1995–96 Logan Cup, known as the Lonrho Logan Cup for sponsorship reasons, was a first-class cricket competition held in Zimbabwe from 15 September 1995 – 21 April 1996.[1] It was won by Matabeleland, who beat Mashonaland Country Districts in the final having finished second behind them in the league stage of the competition.[2][3] In the first innings of the final, Wayne James of Matabeleland, equaled the record of most dismissals in an innings by a wicket-keeper, with nine.[4] He went on to take four more dismissals in the second innings, breaking the record for most dismissals in a match.[4]
