Don't understand how he is underrated when he had opportunities with the Proteas and he didn't set the world a light last season.

Got my tickets for the 13th at Centurion. I just hope the weather holds up. Should be awesome - two matches on the day!

Azhar Mahmood doing serious damage with the ball to Hampshire for Auckland

Azhar Mahmood finishes with great figures - 5/24

Auckland cruising toward winning their pool.

They need 70 from 13.2 overs @ RRR of 5.25.

This takes Auckland into the main draw, and renders inconsequential tomorrow's match between Sialkot and Hampshire. Mahmood has had a match and a half here. He bowled smartly, digging it in, running his fingers over the ball. He knew the wicket was sticky, and that spongy bounce was going to be difficult to hit. However, when he batted, he made the wicket look easy to bat on

Comprehensive win for Auckland ... the win by 8 wickets (with 33 balls remaining)

Great game by Azhar Mahmood ... 55 runs off 31 & 5/24 with the ball. 37 y.o. and still going strong.
