Commentary

That's all that we have from this match. One down, two to go - the Durban Qalandars will take on the Harare Hurricanes next. Click here to follow our coverage of the same. This is Rajarshi, signing off on behalf of Soumarya from here. See you in the next game!

Sikandar Raza, Bulawayo Braves captain: 100 percent proud of the fellas. T10 can go to the last ball anyway, for Beau to come back in the second over and execute the plan so well, credit to him. We have faith in one another, our team environment is very good, we back each other whether we win or lose, we're going to enjoy each other's company in success, and together show the character of the team from there.

Match summary:

Bulawayo Braves win by 3 runs

Innocent Kaia 52*(31) | Taskin Ahmed 2/25 (2)
Rahmanullah Gurbaz 45(18) | Sheldon Cottrell 1/15 (2)

The Bulawayo Braves are still in it! They have given themselves a chance at the playoffs with an inspiring 3-run win, having got off to a rocky start with the ball in the run-chase. While Raza and Burl produced brief cameos with the bat, it was the duo of Innocent Kaia and Beau Webster who provided the firepower towards the latter part of the innings, taking them to a commanding total of 125 in the first innings.

The Braves needed their bowlers to provide them with a strong start. They had confidence in Taskin Ahmed over the same, but he took a beating off Gurbaz today. The Afghan keeper-batter took him on with bravado, and succeeded in providing the Samp Army with a solid start. Taskin eventually came back in grand fashion towards the latter half of his second over, snaffling both Gurbaz and Breetzke in successive deliveries.

Marumani went on to play the role of an anchor as the run-chase rolled on. The equation was such that he could afford to do so, and with Bhanuka Rajapaksa giving him good support, they had good reason to feel that they were in the hunt. But a splendid penultimate over from Pat Dooley, the wrist-spinner, turned the game towards the Braves, and Webster went on to close the game out in style, keeping the ball away from the batters' arc and cutting down the boundaries. The Braves brave through their penultimate game, and will be upbeat about closing the league stage out well!

9.6 Beau Webster to Karim Janat, FOUR MORE!! But it doesn't matter. It was an inside edge for Janat and it went down to third man but it's the Bulawayo Braves who have held their nerve to clinch the game by 3 runs. The Samp Army will be disappointed.

9.5 Beau Webster to Karim Janat, FOUR!! It was width on offer and Janat went for the aerial shot over extra cover. However it's job done for Webster as it's not a SIX!

Two sixes for the win for the Samp Army. Can Janat do it?

9.4 Beau Webster to Karim Janat, full and Janat goes down the ground to long on. They took the fielder on and some sloppy work by the keeper as well helped them to come back for the second run. Janat was yards out when the ball came in to the keeper, but McDermott failed to connect it

9.3 Beau Webster to Sean Williams, hit powerfully towards extra cover. However he can't get it past the fielder who is stationed there. Just a single.

Sean Williams, LHB, comes to the crease

The wide line outside off does the job for Webster! Marumani was out there right from the start, he was due in finishing the game, but fails to get the job done!

9.2 Beau Webster to Tadiwanashe Marumani, GONE!! It was full and Webster bowled it wide. Marumani tried to heave it into the leg side and didn't get enough of it. The catch has been taken easily by the wicketkeeper.

9.1 Beau Webster to Karim Janat, full toss and it has been hit straight down the ground to long on. Just a single.

Beau Webster (1-0-21-0) is back into the attack

Dooley cuts a frustrated figure while taking his cap back. He did a great job in containing the batters throughout the over, but a half-volley off the last ball cost the Braves a great chance of going into the final over with over 20 to defend.

8.6 Patrick Dooley to Tadiwanashe Marumani, SIX!! The pressure has been released. It was full and right into Marumani's hitting arc. He went down on one knee and slog swept it over deep mid wicket for a MAXIMO.

8.5 Patrick Dooley to Karim Janat, at the stumps again and Janat hits it down the ground to long on for a single.

Karim Janat, RHB, comes to the crease

Wow! McDermott redeems himself in some fashion! That was a top take to start with, and upon spotting Rajapaksa just out of his crease, he got to the stumps just in time!
