On Friday, Bangladeshi cricketers Taskin Ahmed and Mushfiqur Rahim made their debuts in the Zim-Afro T10 competition. Both players had outstanding performances.
In both of the matches that the Bulawayo Braves participated in on Friday, Taskin ended up being the player who performed the best with the ball. On the other hand, Mushfiqur earned the most points for his Joburg Buffaloes team.
In the first game that his team played at the Harare Sports Club, Bulawayo defeated Harare Hurricanes by a score of 49 runs. Taskin took one wicket while allowing seven runs to be scored against him.
In the previous game, the Bulawayo Braves held the Harare Hurricanes to 79 for nine while they scored 128 for nine themselves (with four goals scored by Taskin).
Later on, at the same location, Taskin’s Bulawayo were defeated by Mushfiqur’s Joburg Buffaloes by a score of 10 runs; nonetheless, the Bangladesh bowler recorded career-best figures of three for 11 in only two overs in the 10-over format game.
Mushfiqur was the standout performance for his team, slamming an undefeated 46 off of only 23 balls in a lightning-fast innings that included eight fours and helped the Buffaloes reach 105 for seven in the allotted overs.
Taskin’s Bulawayo Braves were given a score limit of 95 for nine in their response.
