T Ten Global announced a landmark digital partnership with FanCode in India, making FanCode the exclusive streaming partner for the upcoming Zim Afro T10, Abu Dhabi T10, and Lanka T10 for the next three years.
The Zim Afro T10, following a successful inaugural season, is set to return for its second edition on September 21. This season promises nine days of exhilarating cricket featuring international stars like David Warner, Dawid Malan, Yasir Shah, Carlos Brathwaite, and Colin Munro. The tournament will showcase cricket’s fastest format at Harare Sports Club, with six competing franchises: Harare Bolts, Bulawayo Brave Jaguars, Cape Town Samp Army, Durban Wolves, Jo’Burg Bangla Tigers, and NYS Lagos.
Each day of the tournament will feature three white-ball matches: the first game will start at 3:00 pm local time and 6:30 pm IST; the second game will begin at 5:15 pm local time and 8:45 pm IST; and the third match will kick off at 7:30 pm local time and 11:00 pm IST.
The Zim Afro T10 league stage will see 21 games before transitioning to the knockout phase. The top two teams will advance to Qualifier 1, with the winner moving to the final. The third and fourth-placed teams will play the Eliminator, with the winner proceeding to Qualifier 2 to face the runner-up of Qualifier 1. The victor of Qualifier 2 will then compete against the winner of Qualifier 1 in the final on September 29.
