The first ever Zim Afro T10, organized by Zimbabwe Cricket and T Ten Global, will commence in less than two weeks time with five teams battling it out for top honours in the inaugural edition, which will be held at the picturesque Harare Sports Club.

The Zim Cyber City Zim Afro T10 is franchise cricket's first foray into Zimbabwe, and will see five privately owned teams: Harare Hurricanes, Durban Qalandars, Cape Town Samp Army, Bulawayo Braves and the Johannesburg Buffaloes battle in what is expected to be an absolute carnival of cricket.

Act 1 of the Zim Cyber City Zim Afro T10 will see a glittering opening ceremony (6 PM local time) in Harare on July 20, after which the Harare Hurricanes and the Bulawayo Braves face off in the first game of the tournament on July 21.

The Zim Afro T10 2023 then picks up pace with tweleve games scheduled over the next three days. The matchdays with three games will see the first contest begin at 3 PM local time, followed by matches at 5 PM and 7 PM local time.

Tree games will be played on seven days, while two games will be played only on July 27. In total, there will be 24 matches that will played this season. The top four teams following the completion of the double round-robin stage will progress to the Zim Afro T10 Playoffs.

On July 28, the Qualifier 1 will begin at 3 PM local time, with the top ranked team during the league stages taking on the team that finished second, and the winner goes through to the final.

This will be followed by an Eliminator, where teams ranked three and four will battle it out for a spot in Qualifier 2. In Qualifier 2, the team that lost Qualifier 1 will play the winner of the Eliminator, for a berth in the final.

The grand final is slated for 5 PM local time on July 29, with the final act of the Zim Cyber City Zim Afro T10 being the closing ceremony. Here is a look at the complete list of fixtures for the first-ever Zim Afro T10 league:
