On Sunday at the Harare Sports Club, the ninth game of the Zim Afro T10 2023 will pit Bulawayo Braves (BB) against Durban Qalandars (DB) (July 23). In the first round of the tournament, BB has played three games and has only succeeded in winning one of them. DB, who participated in two bouts, has two victories and is now ranked second overall. Also, it’s important to note that this will be Qalandar’s second game of the day.
Speaking of the Braves’ previous game, BB lost to Cape Town Samp Army (CTSA) in their most recent contest. The only batter for his side to score more than 20 runs was Ben McDermott (age 27). Tanaka Chivanga and Taskin Ahmed both claimed one wicket between them as bowlers. On the other hand, DB pacer Tendai Chatara has distinguished himself for them so far in the tournament by taking some significant wickets. Hazratullah Zazai and Tim Seifert, meanwhile, have made an impression in the batting department.
As BB and Qalandars square off, BB will want to pick up their winning ways, while DB will try to maintain the momentum.
