The 2020–21 Pro50 Championship was the nineteenth edition of the Pro50 Championship, a List A cricket tournament that was played in Zimbabwe. It started on 18 April 2021, with five teams taking part,[1] and was the final domestic tournament in Zimbabwe's cricket calendar for the 2020–21 season.[2] There was no defending champion, as the previous tournament was voided due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3][4]
Following the conclusion of the group stage, Tuskers and Eagles advanced to the third-place play-off, and Rocks and Rhinos qualified for the final of the tournament.[5] Rhinos won the tournament, beating Rocks by 47 runs in the final.[6]
