The second match of the day stayed witness to a swashbuckling display from Robin Uthappa who spearheaded the charge for the Hurricanes at the top of the order. It was a collective display of brilliance from the top-order where Uthappa’s 50 laced with Chakabva’s 43 pave the path for Harare’s rise to glory while Donovan Ferreira’s thumping finish allowed them to post a mammoth 134 on the board.

Samp Army’s glittering start to the tournament gave away to mediocrity as they lost their second game of the day as well and this time it was a pedestrian batting display that cost them dearly. A stunning bowling display Blessing Muzarabani claiming 3/7 restricted CTSA to 89/6. The Joburg Buffaloes were relentless as they demolished the Samp Army mercilessly, riding high on the shoulder of their skipper, Mohammad Hafeez who powered to a world-class 40 while Ravi Bopara’s unbeaten 30 saw the Buffaloes home with nine wickets to spare.
