Sikander Raza ( Player of the Match): "Listen... We want to bring cricket here. This is our first franchise cricket tournament. You see how the fans were enjoying at the stadium, it felt great to witness all of this. Before the match started, I had thought that I would play the same way I play the brand of cricket and will continue to play an entertaining brand of cricket in the future as well. I am happy with the way Mpofu bowled in the first over. Although he made some mistakes, he managed to maintain his line."

20:29 PM IST and 04:59 PM local time | Chasing 129, Harare Hurricanes never looked in a good position as Bulawayo team dominated it out bravely.

Mohammed Nabi made a few strike after Eoin Morgan scored the first boundary but soon after making 22 runs of 14 balls, Nabi fell to Mills. After that no one looked handsome. Irfan Pathan came in the crease and hit some boundaries but Raza's brilliant bowling made him chop one back on to his stumps and go back to the pavilion after scoring 15. Later Luke Jongwe accelerated well for his 20 but no effort was enough for Harare to chase 129 runs down as they lost by 49 runs.
