The Zim Afro T10 League 2023 finally ends with the Durban Qalandars lifting the trophy. The final showdown took place between the Joburg Buffaloes and the Qalandars.
While the Buffaloes directly qualified for the final by winning Qualifier 1, the Qalandars, after losing it, had to play Qualifier 2. In the match, they overpowered the Harare Hurricanes to get the ticket to compete with the Buffaloes.
In the much-anticipated final, the Qalandars managed to win by a big margin of eight wickets. They conceded a target of 128 as Mohammad Hafeez and Co., batting first, posted 127 for the loss of four wickets. Their score had contributions from Hafeez’s 32 and Tom Banton’s 36.
The bowlers Tayyab Abbasm, Brad Evans, George Linde, and Azmatullah managed a wicket each.
While chasing, the Buffaloes adhered to a good start as opener Hazratullah Zazai smashed 43, followed by Tim Siefert’s 30 and Andre Fletcher’s 29. The Qalandars’ bowlers could pick only two of their batters as the Siefert team emerged victorious to lift the trophy.

As a result of the smokey inning, Zazai has climbed to third place and has closed the Zim Afro T10 League 2023 batting charts with 270 runs from 10 games.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz of the Samp Army is unaffected at the top. He ended the league’s stint as the top-placed batter with 282 runs from nine appearances.
