10:26 PM IST, 6:56 PM Local Time: A thriller show comes to an end as Durban Qalandars held their never till the end and won the match by 7 runs. With this loss, Bulawayo Braves' journey in the playoffs seems over. Durban Qalandars with the win book their place in the playoff and will play the first Qualifier.
After losing the toss and bowling very well in the first inning the Braves halted the Qalandar's innings at 103. The start of the chase for the Braves was not that good as they lost early wickets. Innocent Kaia who played the match-winning inning for the Braves in their last game departed early courtesy of Dupavillon. Ben McDermott also lost his wicket in the very next over. The top three order batters got out with 15 runs on the board.
Skipper Sikandar Raza and Beau Webster started the rescue work and added 42 runs on the board for 4th wicket before Raza got out. He played an inning of 21 runs and held the inning for Braves. Webster on the other end continued scoring and ticking the run-chase. He and Thisara Perera added 37 runs on the board for the fifth wicket before Webster got out. He played an inning of 40 runs in 21 deliveries.
With 12 runs needed in the last over Chatara bowled brilliantly and took 2 big wickets with 1 run-out in the last over. Chatara with three big wickets was the outstanding performer with the ball. Evans got 2 wickets and Dupavillon got a wicket.
Durban Qalandars walked out to bat after winning the toss, however, their performance was poor as their top-order batters failed miserably. Asif Ali batted very well in the middle and scored 32 runs in 21 deliveries. George Linde scored a quick 28-run off just 11 balls, helping his team reach a total of 103 runs. Taskin Ahmed got 3 wickets, Mills and Dolley got 2 wickets, and Chivanga got 1 wicket.
In a low-scorer thriller, it's Qalandars who came out prevailing and went straight top of the table. Bulawayo Braves' journey ends here with this loss. They played exceptional cricket and hopefully will come back stronger next time.

Craig Ervine (Durban Qalandars Captain): "Yaa, a great win to finish off the league stage. The boys held their never perfectly till the end and Chatara was brilliant in the last over. There was confusion between Amir and Evans about who to give the third last over with the last over Chatara bowling. Evans bowled brilliantly, somehow Amir didn't execute the second last over well but Chatara won us the game. Good win and very happy to be on top of the table but we are playing a Qualifier tomorrow and we need to perform exactly like this to make out way to the finals."
That's all from low-score thriller as Qalandars make their way straight to the first Qualifier. Bulawayo Braves' journey ends here.
