The 2020–21 Logan Cup was the 27th edition of the Logan Cup, a first-class cricket competition in Zimbabwe, which started on 9 December 2020. After originally scheduled to start on 3 December 2020,[1] the tournament was moved back a week to allow time to set up a bio-secure bubble.[2] Five teams took part in the competition,[3] including the Southern Rocks,[4] who last played in the 2013–14 tournament.[5] There was no defending champion, after the previous tournament was voided due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[6] [7]

Four matches were played during December 2020.[8] However, on 3 January 2021, Zimbabwe Cricket halted all cricket in the country following a rise in COVID-19 cases.[9] In mid-March 2021, it was reported that the tournament would resume later that month,[10] with the next round of matches starting on 18 March 2021.[11]

In March 2021, Rocks won their first ever Logan Cup title, with a match left to play.[12]
