Harare Hurricanes will kick off Zim Afro 10 against Bulawayo Braves. The tournament will feature some of the biggest players in world cricket. Harare Hurricanes will have the likes of Eoin Morgan, Mohammad Nabi, Robin Uthappa, and Irfan Pathan among others.
Conversely, Bulawayo will have the services of Sikandar Raza, Ashton Turner, Ben McDermott, and Taskin Ahmed, Mujeeb Ur Rahman among others.
Bulawayo look a slightly more balanced unit than Harare, with a strong bowling attack to go with solid batting, so they will start the match as favourites.
The pitch in Harare has favoured the batters and once again the batsmen are likely to make merry. Also, T10 is a format where pitches are made for high-scoring games so bowlers will have to stick to tight lines.
There is no threat of rain but the temperature can dip to under 10 degrees which can be challenging for the players.

Bowlers | Mujeeb ur Rahman |
Sikandar Raza will be a key batter for Bulawayo Braves. Raza has enjoyed a great run in the last few years which also helped him bag an IPL contract with Punjab Kings in IPL 2023. Raza is also a very good bowling option so he is a must in our team.
Irfan Pathan is another good player to have in the team. He will be playing for Harare Hurricanes and will bat in the top order and will also share the new ball. Pathan has done well every time he has played in franchise tournaments post-retirement and once again a good show will be expected of him.
Mujeeb will be the trump card for Bulawayo Braves. The ace spinner is fresh from a good series against Bangladesh and will be eyeing a solid start to the new tournament.
Evin Lewis will enjoy the T10 format. There are two reasons to back him. First, he is an opener so he will get more balls to face and thus will have more chance to score. Secondly, he is someone who can score at a strike rate of 200 which is great.
Mohammad Nabi is fresh from the good tour to Bangladesh where he scored a brilliant 50 in the first T20I. Nabi is also a good pick with the ball, so he is one of the top fantasy picks.
