Joburg Bangla Tigers have performed well so far in this tournament and have secured their place in the finals. Joburg Bangla Tigers will play the final match against Cape Town Samp Army on 29 September at the Harare Sports Club in Harare. However, before this final, Chris Lynn made a big statement regarding the Jim Afro T10 League tournament and also praised his team. While talking to Crictracker, he also presented his side regarding his batting. Chris Lynn was asked the question that he and Sunil Narine together made the record of scoring 105 in the powerplay for Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL, which was broken by Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head for Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2024.

This is my first time in Zimbabwe and the players also want to present their best performance in front of the world. We just want to finish this tournament on a high note. What are the young players who have left their mark in this tournament? Question: When T20 cricket was started, questions were also raised on this. The T10 format is also in its infancy. What would you like to say about this format? Chris Lynn: The best thing about this format is that you can play three matches in a single day. Sometimes you have to play two matches in the same day and it is a good challenge for the players as well and they get a chance to show tremendous performance against different teams. The T10 format is just beginning and it will take some time for the players to understand it. Question: Just as the T20 format has achieved a new position at the international level, can the T10…
