All eyes will be on Yusuf Pathan [Twitter]

In a highly anticipated clash, Joburg Buffaloes will take on Durban Qalandars in the final of the ongoing Zim Afro T10 league. The high-voltage face-off will take place at the iconic Harare Sports Club. 

Durban Qalandars have enjoyed stellar success in the tournament, occupying the top spot in the group-stage points table with five wins in eight outings. After securing two clinical victories, the Qalandars were crushed by Harare Hurricanes in their third group-stage fixture. However, they bounced back remarkably and booked their berth in the final by performing admirably in the remaining group-stage games as well as the second qualifier. 

Meanwhile, talking about Joburg Buffaloes, they blew hot and cold initially, but exhibited incredible consistency to make a grand entry to the final. Although several players have starred for them, former Indian all-rounder Yusuf Pathan has grabbed a million eyeballs by playing some outrageous knocks in the tournament.
