The Tuskers won their first three matches, including a repeat of the previous season's final against the Mountaineers. They drew their next two matches, but further wins against Southern Rocks and Mashonaland Eagles meant that they won the competition with a match to spare. The Tuskers' head coach, Dave Houghton, praised his team's bowling during the season; citing the number of matches in which they won by an innings.

Gary Ballance, a Zimbabwe-born batsman who plays English county cricket for Yorkshire, finished the competition as the leading run-scorer, accumulating 1,093 runs. Ballance, who appeared in the tournament for the Mid West Rhinos, scored six centuries, including a tournament high-score of 210. The leading wicket-taker was Glen Querl, who made his first-class debut in the competition, on which he claimed nine wickets in the match.{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/logan-cup-2011/content/story/537347.html |title=Querl stars on debut for Tuskers |publisher=ESPNcricinfo |author=ESPNcricinfo staff |date=20 October 2011 |accessdate=29 March 2012}} He finished the tournament with 45 wickets at a bowling average of 12.86.
