Zimbabwe v Afghanistan Preview

Zimbabwe enters the second Test buoyed by stellar batting from Sean Williams and Craig Ervine. Brian Bennett's all-round brilliance adds a potent edge to their lineup. However, their bowling unit must step up on a flat Bulawayo pitch to restrict Afghanistan's formidable batting order.

Afghanistan showcased resilience in the first Test, with Hashmatullah Shahidi and Rahmat Shah anchoring their innings. Spinner AM Ghazanfar will be key to their bowling attack on a surface that traditionally aids spinners in the later stages.
