Zimbabwe v Afghanistan Preview

Zimbabwe faces a daunting task in the red-ball format, having struggled in the limited-overs series against Afghanistan. Their recent record in Tests also doesn’t inspire confidence, with their last outing ending in a defeat to Ireland.

Afghanistan, led by Hashmatullah Shahidi, will be eager to capitalise on their dominant form. Despite limited exposure to Test cricket this year, the team has shown promise in adapting to various conditions. Rashid Khan’s spin and Rahmat Shah’s consistency with the bat will be pivotal for the visitors.
