Zimbabwe vs Afghanistan Preview

Zimbabwe are desperate to bounce back after a disappointing T20 series loss. With key players like Craig Ervine and Sikandar Raza in good touch, the hosts will aim for a turnaround. Zimbabwe’s batting strength lies in the top order, featuring Sean Williams and Tadiwanashe Marumani, while Richard Ngarava and Blessing Muzarabani are set to lead the bowling unit.

Meanwhile, Afghanistan enter the series with confidence after recent wins over Bangladesh and Zimbabwe in white-ball formats.
