ZIM vs AFG Preview

Hazratullah Zazai led Afghanistan in scoring with 45 runs. Batting becomes more difficult as the ball ages, therefore Zazai will have the best opportunity to bat. From the visitors, he is our top choice for top hitter.
Rashid Khan bowled brilliantly in the last game, picking up a wicket for just 21 runs. It’s difficult to play him, and he’ll be looking to take a few more wickets in the following encounter. As Afghanistan’s best bowler, he can be trusted.
In the previous game, Ryan Burl tormented the Afghan batters, taking three wickets. He would make an excellent candidate for Zimbabwe’s top bowler.

Zimbabwe now faces a must-win position if they want to keep the T20I series alive after losing four games in a row. The second Twenty20 International between Zimbabwe and Afghanistan will begin at 4:30 p.m. IST on June 12 at the Harare Sports Club.

Afghanistan outplayed Zimbabwe and won the first T20I by a comfortable margin, continuing the series’ trend. In their 20 overs, Zimbabwe managed to score 159-8, which was a respectable total. Afghanistan, on the other hand, is such a strong T20I team that they were able to chase down the goal without breaking a sweat. Najibullah Zadran and Hazratullah Zazai scored 45 and 44 points, respectively.

From Zimbabwe’s standpoint, the only positive aspect of this game was that Zimbabwe kept Afghanistan close and pushed the game to the final over. They believe that if they bat a little better and record a score of around 170-180, they will be able to defeat the visitors.

ZIM vs AFG Match Toss Prediction

The chasing team has won the game, as has been the case throughout the series. Going into this game, it shouldn’t be any different. Here, the team that wins the toss should bowl first.

ZIM vs AFG Pitch Report

The batting surface has been excellent. Pacers with the new ball, on the other hand, and spinners later on, have received some assistance. Because the field isn’t very large, batters are likely to dominate once again.

Zimbabwe Team News & Probable Playing XIs

For the hosts, it’s a make-or-break game, and they’ll be hoping for a better showing. They were not particularly poor in the first T20I, so we expect them to field the same XI this time.
