Zim Afro T10 League: Hazrutllah Zazai was in a dangerous mood as Durban Qalandars defeated Joburg Buffaloes in a thrilling final to win the Zim Afro T10 league. It was a worthy final.
Both teams had loads of stars and both teams were here to win. And the match was truly beautiful. What we saw was a 20-over-long, hitting spectacle that involved 17 sixes in just 116 deliveries.
It was a thrilling contest where no one could have predicted the result until it became absolutely clear. Durban skims past Joburg through sheer will and amazing hitting. A nail-biting final that will be remembered for a long time.
Joburg Sets A Big Target
While batting first, Joburg Buffaloes scored 127 runs in their 10 overs. They lost 4 wickets and were able to capitalize on the strong start given to them by Mohammed Hafeez and Tom Banton.
They lost Will Smeed quickly, but Ravi Bopara and Yusuf Pathan applied the finishing touches wonderfully to help Joburg reach a very good total. Four bowlers from Durban got one wicket each.
Durban Strong Reply
In reply, Durban kept the game in their hand all the time. Tim Seifert started the attack in the second over and that attack never stopped. Andre Fletcher took the baton from Seifert and started hitting big sixes.
Fletcher was dropped on 11 runs and that wicket might have been the game-changer for Joburg. And as Fletcher walked to the dugout next over, he had already completed his work.
After that Zazai, who opened the inning, decided to open his hands. He hit long sixes consecutively and Asif Ali on the other hand also did a wonderful job. In the end, Durban chased the target with 4 balls remaining.
