Durban Qalandars will lock horns with Joburg Buffaloes in the final of the Zim Afro T10 2023 at the Harare Sports Club in Harare on July 29. Durban Qalandars have won five games from nine that they have played and finished the league stage in second place. On the other hand, Joburg Buffaloes played nine matches where they won five and were at the top of the table after the end of the group stage.

In their last match, Durban Qalandars had squared off against Harare Hurricanes, where Durban Qalandars had won the toss and elected to bowl. Of the entire batting line-up, only Robin Uthappa and Samit Patel managed to reach a score in double digits. Samit Patel scored the highest with his 39 and pushed his team to a decent total of 82 runs. Qalandars lost two wickets rather early but still looked in command of the chase. They were not dependent on one single batter, and multiple different batters contributed. Durban Qalandars easily won the match by four wickets with eight balls to spare.

Joburg Buffaloes had played against Durban Qalandars in their last encounter, where the toss was won by Joburg Buffaloes, who had chosen to bowl. Qalandars had a decent start which was further bettered as the innings progressed. Their middle order played aggressively and scored the majority of the runs. They posted a huge total of 140 runs on the board. Buffaloes did not back off from such a huge target and started well. The team did score some runs, but it was Yusuf Pathan who hit Qalandars like a storm with a 26-ball 80 knock and won the game for Joburg Buffaloes on the penultimate ball of the game.
