Harare Hurricanes 146/1 in 9.2 overs Robin Uthappa 88*(36) | Richard Ngarava 1/21 Donovan Ferreira 35*(16) |
The Hurricanes have pulled off a miracle here and they're into the second Qualifier! They had to chase a mammoth 146 runs from their 10 overs and they did it with ease in the end much to the agony of the Samp Army. They lost just one wicket in the chase as Robin Uthappa and Donovan Ferreira guided them home.
The Veteran Indian batter played the innings of the tournament and scored 88 runs in no time as he rolled back the years with his delightful stroke making. He was given able support by Ferreira who showed his big hitting prowess and took on the bowlers. He was hit on the helmet once but that didn't deter him from playing in his normal aggressive approach.
The bowlers found it really hard as they struggled to contain the runs. Richard Ngarava was the only man to take a wicket as he got rid of Evin Lewis. The rest of the bowlers had a really tough day including Tom Curran who was hammered all over the park today. Mystery spinner Mujeeb also travelled the distance as he was smashed for 28 runs from his only over.

9.2 Sheldon Cottrell to Robin Uthappa, HARARE WIN! Back of a length on the stumps, comes down the track and knocks it towards mid on for a couple. No one is there as Cottrell tries to cover it but his effort is not enough for the batters to prevent a couple.
9.1 Sheldon Cottrell to Robin Uthappa, a slow full length delivery on off, chips it towards extra cover. Falls safe as the batters complete a couple.
Tom Curran's poor day with the ball continued as Uthappa went berserk in that over. The Hurricanes just need four runs to win now and they're on their way to book a play in the qualifier 2!
