ZIM vs AFG 3rd ODI Match Prediction: The third match of the ODI series will be played at Harare Sports Club on December 21, 2024, starting at 1:00 PM onwards.
Team Preview of ZIM vs AFG 3rd ODI Match Prediction 2024
Zimbabwe once again looks like a team that just started playing cricket because, in their last match, they failed to score 100 runs as the team in the ODI format against the Afghanistan side on the same pitch where the opposition scored 280+ runs.
Zimbabwe lost the match by 232 runs. Only two batters were able to reach double figures, and four players got out on zero, which clearly shows how badly they performed. It was like an international team playing against a College team that didn’t know how to bat.
From the Afghanistan side, Sediqullah Atal at last showed his potential and scored a maiden century alongside him. Another newcomer, Abdul Malik, played a great knock of 84 to give the Afghan team a great start. Together, they made 191 runs in the opening partnership, but after that, no other player from Afghanistan was able to score quick-fire runs, and they were able to set 286 runs.
Newman Nyamhuri, the debutant from the Zimbabwe side, had the best bowling figure as he took three wickets and gave only 53 runs, which is a great start for him in the international circuit. However, the Zimbabwe side needs their batters to step up and play like an international batter.
