The 13th game of the Zim Afro T10 2023 will see Durban Qalandars take on Joburg Buffaloes at the Harare Sports Club in Harare on Tuesday.
The Qalandars have had a mixed season, winning three of five games. They're coming off a loss to Cape Town Samp Army in their previous game. Hazratullah Zazai top-scored with 43, but the other batters faltered as they only managed 91 in their allotted ten overs. They tried hard and picked up six wickets but failed to defend the total.
The Buffaloes, meanwhile, are struggling in the inaugural edition of the Zim Afro T10 League, winning one of four games. They lost to the Harare Hurricanes in their previous fixture.
They did a decent job to restrict the Hurricanes to 106. In response, Ravi Bopara scored 39* off 19 but lacked support from the other end. The game went down to the last over byt they fell short of the target by two runs.
