01:13 AM IST and 10:43 PM Local Time | If there is something called a 'captain's knock', then Mohammed Hafeez's today's bowling spell will be one of the greatest examples of it.
Bulawayo Braves started fine with Ben McDermott and Kobe Herft scoring some quick runs in the powerplay. But the things changed when Wellington Masakadza was introduced in the 3rd over. He took three wickets of Kobe Herft, Ben McDermott and Ashton Turner.
After that Hafeez came to bowl the fourth over and quickly removed the man in form Sikandar Raza, the big hitting Thisara Perera and Timyoen Maruma and Bulawayo Braves were 35-6 at the end of the 4th over.
Ryan Burl and Beau Webster played some good knocks to power their team to 68-6 with 38 needed of the last 17. Then came Mohammed Hafeez again. He removed Ryan Burl, Tymal Mills and Tanunurwa Makoni and reduced Braves to 68-9.
However Beau Webster(39*) continued to hit and reduced the chase to 26 of the final over. Victor Nyauchi did it well to restrict Webster. Joburg Buffaloes secured a 10 run victory/
Earlier coming to bat, Mushfiqur Rahim's 46 and Tom Banton's 34 was crucial for Joburg team to post a total of 106 even after losing four early wickets.
In the end, it was a cracker of a match. Joburg Buffaloes and their skipper Mohammed Hafeez did really well to secure a victory.

Mohammed Hafeez(Joburg Buffaloes skipper):- "I believe we had a belief as a team. Mushi(Mushfiqur Rahim) gave us a belief. I though if we can take two early breakthrough we are back again and Masakadza gave us the breakthrough. When you perform good and that comes on a winning note, that's something really satisfying"
