Robin uthappa: Cricket News & Match Updates

Harare Hurricanes captain Robin Uthappa took every one for a ride on a time machine as he played a sublime knock (88 not out) for his side, leading them to a comprehensive 9-wicket win against the Cape Town Samp Army in the Eliminator of the inaugural edition of the Zim Afro T10 at the Harare Sports Club, here on Friday. Having been asked to bat first, the Cape Town Samp Army started off at a good pace with Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Bhanuka Rajapaksa scoring at more than 10 runs an over.

While Rajapaksa departed for a quick 25 from 11 deliveries in the third over, Gurbaz was going great guns at the other end.

Tadiwanashe Marumani was the next to depart for a duck, becoming Nandre Burger's second wicket of the game. That brought Karim Janat, who has been in good nick to the middle, along with Gurbaz, and they put on a solid 49-run stand. Gurbaz was doing a serious amount of damage to the bowlers' economy rate while Janat had been keeping him a good company.    Read More...
