Zim Afro T10 2023, Match 3, Joburg Buffaloes vs Bulawayo Braves: Probable XIs, Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast, Live Streaming Details

The Joburg Buffaloes and the Bulawayo Braves will lock horns with each other in the third match of the Zim Afro T10 2023 on Friday, July 21. The Harare Sports Club will host the contest.

The Buffaloes have a lethal opening duo on Tom Banton and Will Smeed, who are fresh from a successful campaign in the T20 Blast 2023. Mohammad Hafeez and Mushfiqur Rahim come into the team with loads of experience.

Ravi Bopara and Yusuf Pathan are also veterans of the T20 format. Blessing Muzarabani will lead their bowling attack along with the spin-bowling duo of Wellington Masakadza and Noor Ahmad.

The Braves also have a reasonably strong squad for the tournament. They will depend heavily on Sikandar Raza, who has been in stupendous form, especially in the T20 format over the last 12 months or so.

Taskin Ahmed has been excellent for Bangladesh and has bowled with a lot of aggression. Ben McDermott has struggled to keep his place in the Australian team, but is a prolific run-scorer in the Big Bash League.
