Durban Qalandars (DB) will square off against Harare Hurricanes (HH) in the seventh match of the Zim Afro T10 2023 at the Harare Sports Club on Sunday (July 23). DB have played two matches in the inaugural tournament so far and emerged victorious in both of them. Meanwhile, HH are yet to open their account in the league.
Speaking of the previous matches of the two teams, Qalandars won their last match against Joburg Buffaloes (JBL), whereas Hurricanes suffered a defeat at the hands of Cape Town Samp Army (CTSA). Hazratullah Zazai shined for DB in their victory, scoring unbeaten 41 runs off 25 deliveries. On the other hand, despite Mohammad Nabi’s two wickets and Robin Uthappa’s 31-run knock, Harare couldn’t win the contest.
DB will look to carry their momentum and eye the top spot of the points by winning against the Harare-based side, while HH would be determined to register their maiden win.
