Team Preview of ZIM vs AFG 1st T20I Match Prediction 2024
Zimbabwe will now host Afghanistan in a long tour, which will start with the T20I match at the Harare Sports Club ground. Zimbabwe will be in great confidence after defeating Pakistan in their last match, but Afghanistan will also come into the tour with great confidence after defeating South Africa.
The last time both teams played a bilateral series, Afghanistan won all three matches, and that was also at their own ground. This will haunt them in this series, too, because the Afghanistan team is better than before. The Zimbabwe side has also started to improve from time to time as they defeated the 1st ODI and last t20I against the Pakistan side, and now they have the strength to fight against a rising team like Afghanistan.
The good news for the Afghanistan side is that Mujeeb Ur Rahman will be back with the squad after a long time, and Zubaid Akbari, who did well for the Afghanistan A team, the maiden call-up for the T20I team where Afghanistan needs some dependable, better at the top of the order.
