Commentary

That's that from Qualfiier 1 as I, Lavil Saldanha, take your leave. Do check Sportskeeda to check the latest sports news and all the live match coverages. It was a pleasure bring you this game and we look to catching up with you soon. SEE YA!

Mohammad Hafeez (Joburg Buffaloes): It was a special innings from a special player. He was hungry for a moment like this and he has done something special for us. To be honest, we believed that anyone can go out there and win it for us. Today it was Yusuf Pathan who pulled it off for us and I am very proud of this team, even with one game to go. The attitude shown by all the players was incredible and I am really proud of every one

JoBurg Buffaloes win it by 6 wickets and qualify for the finals

Yusuf Pathan: 82(26b)* | Mohammad Hafeez: 17(8)
Tayyab Abbas: 2/19 (2 overs) | Daryn Dupavillon: 1/17 (2 overs)

Wow, what a game we have witnessed. This has been an exhibition of the highest class when it comes to power-hitting. The innings was off to a good start with Mohammad Hafeez scoring 17 off the first over, but he couldn't carry on as he was dismissed soon. Tom Banton played a nothing shot and lost his leg stump while Will Smeed was done in for lack of bounce. Ravi Bopara couldn't do much damage and was dismissed cheaply, having the team reeling at 57/4.

Amidst all this chaos, Yusuf Pathan stood at the other end and watched how everything was happening. He took a cue from his past self as he waited for the right opportunity and it came in the form of a floating powerplay. He smoked Mohammad Amir to each and every corner of the park and from then on it was no looking back. He was well-assisted by Mushfiqur Rahim and single-handedly pulled off a heist, helping his team to go to the finals.

It was a poor bowling performance from the Durban Qalandars. Tayyab Abbas and Daryn Dupavillon were the only bowlers to pick up wickets alongside Tendai Chatara but lacked any support from the other bowlers. Mohammad Amir and Brad Evans were expensive and ended up conceding way too many runs. They will have a chance to redeem themselves in Qualifier 2 which will be played later today.

9.5 Tendai Chatara to Yusuf Pathan, FOUR! YUSUF PATHAN FINISHES IT OFF IN STYLE! Short ball from Tendai Chatara on that occasion, Yusuf Pathan pulls that one really hard and sends it sailing over deep backward square leg boundary for a boundary. JoBurg Buffaloes win the match by 4 wickets and are en route to the finals

9.4 Tendai Chatara to Yusuf Pathan, SIX! YUSUF PATHAN YOU MAGICIAN! Low full toss outside the off stump, Pathan hits that one really hard and down the ground for a huge maximum. 3 runs needed in 2 balls now

9.3 Tendai Chatara to Yusuf Pathan, FOUR! Back of a length delivery on the line of the off stump, Pathan pulls that one along the ground and the ball runs away to the deep square leg boundary for a four. What a match this turning out to be. 9 runs needed in 2 balls now

9.2 Tendai Chatara to Yusuf Pathan, SIX! Full-length delivery on the line of the off stump, Yusuf Pathan hits that one straight like an arrow and sends it over the stadium's roof for a maximum. 13 runs needed in 4 balls now

Mushfiqur Rahim gets hit in the ribs by that one and he looks in some pain here. The Physio walks out to the middle to check him

9.1 Tendai Chatara to Mushfiqur Rahim, length delivery on the line of the middle and the off stump. Mushfiqur Rahim gets hit by that one and rushes across to the other end for a single

20 runs needed in the last 6 balls now. Tendai Chatara to bowl the last over
