Cape Town Samp Army (CTSA) will battle against Bulawayo Braves (BB) in the sixth match of the Zim Afro T10 2023 at the Harare Sports Club on Saturday (July 22). BB have played two matches in the inaugural tournament so far, emerging victorious in one of them. Meanwhile, CTSA are yet to open their account in the league.
BB’s last match was against Joburg Buffaloes (JBL), which they lost by ten runs. Although Beau Webster top-scored for his team with an unbeaten 39 runs, he couldn’t get the Braves through in the run chase. Among bowlers, Taskin Ahmed impressed with his clinical performance, bagging three wickets for 11 runs. On the other hand, CTSA skipper Parthiv Patel has been the only positive for them. Parthiv (37) was the lone warrior for the team in their opening game.
Both BB and CTSA will aim to register a win and gain crucial points when they face each other on Saturday. It is also worth mentioning that this will be Samp Army’s second match on the same day.
