Commentary

That's all from us then. This is Soumarya Dutta, signing off on behalf of Mohul Bhowmick. See you soon.

Eoin Morgan, Harare Hurricanes Captain - Delighted to get across the line again. The guys were excellent with Nabi taking on a different role today. He used all his experience and tricks and managed to ensure a victory for us. The wicket was two-paced and tricky initially and it was tough to get going from the word go. It was a really good all round performance from us today. We're hoping that our best is yet to come and we're getting there eventually.

Joburg Buffaloes 104/7 in 10 overs
Ravi Bopara 39(19) | Nandre Burger 3/12
Will Smeed 21(13) | Chris Mpofu 2/17

The HURRICANES have pulled off a miraculous win here and they've defended this low total in some style. The Buffaloes got off to a great start and had the chase under control at one stage but they kept loosing wickets and it turned out to be their undoing in the end. At one stage, there was a really good partnership going on between Yusuf Pathan and Will Smeed and the Jo'Burg Buffaloes looked favorites to win it but Mavuta picked up both the set batters and that led to the collapse.

Ravi Bopara used all his experience and almost took him over the line with his remarkable knock of 39 under pressure but he didn't have enough support from the other end. Matthew Campbell, scored a quickfire 10 in the end, and one feels that the batting side missed a trick by not sending him above Wesley. Skipper Mohammad Hafeez also failed to get going as he was dismissed cheaply for just 2 runs.

The Buffaloes bowled out of their skins and it was outstanding captaincy from Eoin Morgan. Veteran Chris Mpofu picked up two wickets in his tidy spell while Burger was the pick of the bowlers with this 3 wickets including both the young Zimbabwean batters Shumba and Madhevere. Mavuta went for a few runs early on but he also picked up a couple. A special mention must also go to Mohammad Nabi. It was a really tough ask for him to bowl the final over as a spinner but he held his nerve and helped his side win the game by 2 runs in the end.

Harare Hurricanes win by 2 runs!

9.6 Mohammad Nabi to John Campbell, FOUR RUNS BUT HURRICANES WIN THIS GAME! Full and wide outside off. Campbell gets down on his knees and tries to slash it away but gets a thick outside edge wide of the fielder at short third man for a boundary! However, that will not be enough as the Hurricanes win this game by 4 runs.

6 needed for the super over! Can Nabi pull this off? Can Campbell become a hero? This is nerve wracking stuff.

9.5 Mohammad Nabi to Ravi Bopara, fired in at a length on middle and leg. Bopara helps it to short fine leg for a single. 7 needed off 1!

9.4 Mohammad Nabi to Ravi Bopara, SIX! Right in the slot from Nabi despite him trying to fire it in. Bopara hangs back and bludgeons it back over the bowler's head for a massive hit!

Mavuta dropped Bopara there and is that the match? How costly will that drop catch prove to be?? Can Bopara take his side home making use of this reprieve.

9.3 Mohammad Nabi to Ravi Bopara, DROPPED! Full and wide outside off. Bopara slashes it towards deep cover and gets put down. The fielder throws the ball back in time just as Bopara sends the dive in. A couple taken.

9.2 Mohammad Nabi to Ravi Bopara, fired in wide outside off. All Bopara can do is dig it out to point.

9.1 Mohammad Nabi to Ravi Bopara, fired in wide outside off. Bopara slaps it towards deep cover. A couple taken.

Mohammad Nabi [1.0-0-16-0] comes back into the attack.

Burger got two wickets in that over but the Buffaloes are not throwing in the towel just yet. Mathew Campbell ended the penultimate over with a boundary and they need 18 from the final over now

8.6 Nandre Burger to John Campbell, FOUR! At a length on off and middle. Campbell gets down on his knees and manages to ramp it over the keeper's head for a boundary!

8.5 Nandre Burger to John Campbell, fullish on off and middle. Campbell punches it back past the bowler for a couple.

Matthew Campbell, LHB, comes to the crease.

Nandre Burger is on a hattrick now and the Hurricanes are pulling this game off from the jaws of defeat here! The Buffaloes keep stumbling.

8.3 Nandre Burger to Noor Ahmad, GONE FIRST BALL! Short of a length outside off. Ahmad swings hard at it but gets a top edge. Keeper Uthappa calls for it and takes the catch quite comfortably!

Noor Ahmad c Robin Uthappa b Noor Ahmad 0(1b, 0x4, 0x6)

Noor Ahmad, RHB, comes to the crease

Madhevere had to depart and he won't get to be a hero today! It's the big South African quick Burger who has got rid of both the young batters today.
