Batting first the Buffaloes had a decent start in the form of Mohammad Hafeez who scored a crucial 32 from just 13 balls while Tom Banton was back in form, hammering 36 from just 17 balls. Another late flourish from Yusuf Pathan combined with a surge from Ravi Bopara allowed Joburg Buffaloes to post 127.

Walking out to bat, the Qalandars never really looked like in any form of discomfort as Hazratullah Zazai, Tim Seifert and Andre Fletcher was quick to react to the pressure and the way they conducted their innings was the key ingredient in the chase of the Durban Qalandars as they cruised hammer and tongs to the finish line. Zazai stayed unbeaten for 43 from 22 balls, smacking one four and four sixes as the Qalandars were crowned the kings of the wild.
