Commentary

That brings us to the end of our coverage of this match. One more match remains today - the Cape Town Samp Army take on the Joburg Buffaloes. Arya and Pragadeesh will take you through that game right here, click to follow! This is Rajarshi, signing off on behalf of Pradeep for now. See you later!

Eoin Morgan [Harare Hurricanes captain]: Very impressed, the opening stand was outstanding, set the tone and just continued to flow throughout the 20 overs of the game, hopefully can continue similarly in the games to come. It'll continue to be like this in the next few games, easy to bat under the lights, taking advantage of the conditions is key. Every ball counts in this format, every ball has such a high price, can go either way and Sreesanth has been brilliant, rescued us in the last game and Jongwe this game. T10 gives you the platform to elevate your skills, always under pressure to take wickets or hit boundaries, huge challenge and I'm big fan of this format.

Robin Uthappa is the Player of the Match!

Match summary:

Harare Hurricanes win by 24 runs

Andre Fletcher 50*(25) | Azmatullah Omarzai 1/17 (2)

How often do we see a team lose a cricket match by 8 wickets? The target of 135 proved to be way too much for the Durban Qalandars top-order to handle; Andre Fletcher and Hazratullah Zazai's efforts turned out to be not nearly enough! The Harare Hurricanes bowlers have backed their batting performance to perfection. Barring the 21-run over from Kevin Koththigoda, none of their bowlers went for exorbitant amount of runs throughout their quota of overs!

Eoin Morgan's tactic of opening the bowling with Mohammad Nabi turned out to be a masterstroke. Nabi's quick, full deliveries were hard for the two Qalandars openers to put away, and after Nandre Burger did a great job in keeping the lid on the batters in his first over, there was a feeling that something was going to give. It did, Seifert lofted a wide-ish first delivery from Luke Jongwe towards deep backward point, Kevin Koththigoda ran a few meters back, dived forward and completed a catch worth watching a billion times.

The image of Hazratullah Zazai joining Andre Fletcher would have given a sense of assurance to the Qalandars initially, but as the middle overs passed by, such assurance started to fade away. The Hurricanes bowlers, having been rotated by Morgan to perfection, hit the right lengths more often than not, not giving anything to hit to both the batters, and went on to squeeze the Qalandars past the point of victory with time to spare. Stay tuned, the post match presentations are coming up...

9.6 Luke Jongwe to George Linde, THAT'S IT! Harare Hurricanes pick up a crucial win, they now are on the same level as the top two teams with eight points. Back of a length on the fourth stump, Linde drags it into the on-side for one.

George Linde, LHB, comes to the crease

9.5 Luke Jongwe to Hazratullah Zazai, OUT! PICKED OUT LONG-OFF! Back of a length and wide of off-stump, Zazai clubbed it straight to the man to long-off who holds on to a sitter.

Hazratullah Zazai c Nandre Burger b Luke Jongwe 49 (28b 2x4 4x6)

9.5 Luke Jongwe to Hazratullah Zazai, WIDE! Loses his line this time, went way outside the off-stump and has been called a wide.

9.4 Luke Jongwe to Hazratullah Zazai, FOUR! Back of a length outside the off-stump, Zazai flicks it over square-leg and runs away to find the ropes.

9.3 Luke Jongwe to Hazratullah Zazai, OH! Brilliant from Jongwe this. Change of pace, back of a length over the stumps. Zazai has a big swipe across the line and misses again.

9.2 Luke Jongwe to Hazratullah Zazai, goes full and well outside the off-stump. Zazai walks across off-stump to hoick but misses again. That should be it if Jongwe can bowl four straight legal deliveries.

9.1 Luke Jongwe to Hazratullah Zazai, back of a length delivery, angling it wide of off-stump. Zazai has a wild swing and a miss.

Luke Jongwe (1-0-13-1) is back into the attack

Five sixes and a single to win it off the last over. The way these two have gone about proceedings, there is very little chance remaining for the Qalandars. Sreesanth delivers yet another tight over, he's been more than impressive in the last couple of days!

8.6 Sreesanth to Hazratullah Zazai, back of a length outside the off-stump, Zazai flat bats it down the ground but long-off gets around quickly to keep them for just one.

8.5 Sreesanth to Hazratullah Zazai, back of a length on the stumps, Zazai swipes it to deep mid-wicket and the fielder makes a slight fumble, they scamper back for the brace.

8.4 Sreesanth to Hazratullah Zazai, SIX! BAM! Sensational shot from Zazai, Qalandars are just hanging by a thread here. Length delivery on the off-stump, Zazai clears his front foot and dispatched it straight down the ground for a maximum.

8.3 Sreesanth to Andre Fletcher, full toss into the batter, Fletcher looks to heave but mistimes it down to long-on for a single. Umpire checking if that's a no-ball for height, that seems OK!
