12:59 AM IST, 9:29 PM Local Time | Deepak: Azmatullah Omarzai finishes things in style and Durban Qalandars pummeled Robin Uthappa-led Harare Hurricanes sides by 4 wickets to storm into the grand Finale of the inaugural season on Zim Afro T-10.
Earlier, after being invited to bat first, Harare Hurricanes got off to a nightmare start as they lost a flurry of wickets at the beginning of the innings, which restricted them to scoring runs at a brisk pace and eventually, they were restricted to 82/8 at the end of 10 overs. Samit Patel was the lone warrior for Hurricanes as the right-hander remained unbeaten till the end and contributed 39 runs off 23 balls. Brad Evans shone with the ball for Qalandars, as the right-arm quick wreaked havoc with the ball and bagged 4 wickets for 16 runs in 2 overs.
In pursuit of Hurricanes' paltry 82 runs, Qalandars lost Tim Seifert and Andre Fletcher for a mere 4 and 1 runs, respectively. Hazratullah Zazai played a short cameo of 25 runs off 16 balls. Nick Welch and Asif Ali chipped in with 18 runs off 12 and 6 balls, respectively, and eventually, Azmatullah Omarzai finished the game with a maximum, helping his side advance into the grand Finale.
Coming to the bowling now, Hurricanes managed to extract wickets at regular intervals, but they failed to put a brake on the run and eventually failed to defend 82 runs. Luke Jongwe and Nandre Burger bagged a couple of wickets for the Hurricanes, while Mohammad Nabi and Tinotenda Maposa contributed one wicket.
Durban Qalandars thumped Harare Hurricanes by 4 wickets with 8 balls to spare and advance into the final. Stay tuned for the post-match presentation.

Craig Ervine (Durban Qalandars captain):- "We liked to bowl tonight. After such a long day, bowlers did a remarkable job. Brad Evans was brilliant and he is learning and improving. This is the utility of the tournament that youngsters are learning. For tomorrow, I would like to say that we are performing very well in this tournament. But we would not like to rely on one or two players, we would expect everybody to step up. All over we performed clinical in this match."
That's all from Qualifier 2 of Zim Afro T-10 Durban Qalandars and Joburg Buffaloes will rub shoulders in the grand Finale of the inaugural season of Zim Afro T-10 tomorrow at the same venue, Harare Sports Club, Harare. I hope you enjoyed our coverage and for now, it's time to bid adieu.
