That brings us to the end our coverage for this Zim Afro T10 clash. Lots of cricketing action coming up tomorrow. Keep following Sportskeeda for all the latest sporting actions but for now this is myself (Arya Sekhar Chakraborty) biding adieu to all of us who joined me for the game. Till the next time, it's ta-ta and goodnight.
Mohammad Hafeez is the Player of the Match for his outrageous spell of 6/4. Here's what he has to say: The belief we had as a team was that if we put the runs on the board...110 I felt was a good score and Mushi did well. I knew that if we could get a couple of wickets we could do anything. Masakadza picked up a couple of wickets. Whichever format you play you want to do well. We believe we have a good team. There are a couple of things we have to look after but I'm sure we'll continue doing well. I can only smile (when asked about his returns).
Joburg Buffaloes won by 10 runs
Mushfiqur Rahim 46(23) | Mohammad Hafeez 6/4(2) Beau Webster 39(22) | Taskin Ahmed 3/11(2)
Riding on a superlative bowling effort from the Joburg Buffaloes captain Mohammad Hafeez, they managed to defend a below par score of 105 and won by 10 runs in the end. Ben McDermott and Kobe Herft came out with a positive frame of mind and smashed 30 runs in the first two overs. Junior Dala got thrashed for a couple of mighty sixes and the Braves looked firmly in control of the game but what transpired in the next two overs, left the Bulawayo Braves drained and derailed.
Wellington Masakadza started the slide with the wicket of Kobe Herft and Ben McDermott. Ashton Turner couldn't read the one coming back in and was castled the very first ball. Mohammad Hafeez then came to bowl and also bagged 3 wickets in his first over. He started with the prized scalp of Sikandar Raza before castling Thisara Perera with a flatter trajectory delivery.
Timycen Maruma was the last to go in that over as Bulawayo Braves kept staring down the barrel. Beau Webster kept them in the game with a powerful knock of 39 off just 22 deliveries. However, it was Hafeez who bagged 3 more in his 2nd over which put the match to bed in the end. Hafeez also finished with the best figures in T10 history, finishing with figures of 6/4 in his 2 overs. The flashing blade of Webster wasn't enough as they eventually fell short by 10 runs. Hafeez and Masakadza were the only wicket takers with 6 and 3 to their names respectively.
