Brisbane Heat vs Adelaide Strikers TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. ZIM vs AFG Match Prediction & Analysis Sometimes in sport, one finds a mis-match and that was certainly the case on Thursday as Afghanistan dominated Zimbabwe from ball one en route to a triumph by 232 runs. The winning margin has led to many cricket writers and supporters of Zimbabwe cricket declaring the series already over but the truth is that after the first game was washed out, there is still the possibility of it finishing all square! TEAMS PREVIEW Zimbabwe Preview First things first, if Zimbabwe are to win this game and get back into the series ahead of the third and final match, they simply must find a way to play the Afghanistan bowlers better on Saturday! The tone was set at the top of the order when Ben Curran, brother of Sam and Tom, was run out from the final ball of the opening over for a six-ball duck and the team never recovered. They were eventually bowled out for just 54 and there would still have been 13 balls remaining in their innings if it had been a T20I! Afghanistan Preview There are many facts, stats and interesting points that one can pick out of the second ODI to show Afghanistan’s dominance but the most pertinent one is that they bowled out Zimbabwe for 54 without the great Rashid Khan even bowling one ball! That shows just how well the rest of the bowling attack performed with each of Fazalhaq Farooqi, Azmatullah Omarzai, AM Ghazanfar and Naveed Zadran picking up wickets whilst conceding less than 4.33 runs per over. Of course the batting was also very strong and the Afghans have a natural flair for attacking cricket. The opening pair of Sediqullah Atal (104) and Abdul Malik (84) will both come into this game brimming with confidence after putting on 191 inside 35 overs. Weather Conditions Although there could be some cloudy spells during the day, it promises to be another warm, sunny and dry one in Harare for this game with the temperature up at 29 degrees at its peak. ZIM vs AFG Pitch Report There is something for the bowlers to work with in Harare but the hosts certainly batted under par by being rolled out for 54! Afghanistan’s total of 286/6 was not over par and we think that 300 is an average score on this wicket. Toss: To Bat Afghanistan will be happy to do whatever in this game first but we expect Zimbabwe to show some confidence in their batting if they win the toss. If they do not then the series could be over so we predict that both captains will want to bat first.

πŒπ€π“π‚π‡ :Β Zimbabwe vs Afghanistan𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : December 11 ,​Wednesday​​ π“πˆπŒπ„ :​ 17:00 PM IST​​​​​​ 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Harare Sports Club, Harare, Zimbabwe π“πŽπ”π‘ππ€πŒπ„ππ“ :​​ 1st T20I 2024 Zimbabwe face a dominant Afghanistan Zimbabwe vs Afghanistan TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. ZIM vs AFG Match Prediction & Analysis Afghanistan will be touring Zimbabwe for 3 T20Is, 3 ODIs, and one Test match. In their last T20I series here, Afghanistan had won 3-0. They have a great record against Zimbabwe in T20Is with 14 wins and 1 loss. The hosts were recently handed a 1-2 loss by Pakistan in the T20I series. Zimbabwe were bowled out for 108 and 57 runs in the first two games and in the final match of the series, they chased down 133 runs with 2 wickets in hand. TEAMS PREVIEW Zimbabwe Preview At the time of writing, there is no official word out on the T20I squad from Zimbabwe for this series. However, we reckon they are most likely to continue with the same side that played Pakistan in the recent home series. Wessly Madhevere was back in the squad for the Pakistan games. He played just one game and wasn’t very impressive. We expect him to find more chances against Afghanistan. Opening batsman Brian Bennett found his rhythm in the final match where Zimbabwe successfully chased down the target. There haven’t been any promising performances from the batters but Bennett and Tadiwanashe Marumani will be the key players to watch out for in the top order. Afghanistan Preview Afghanistan will be playing their first T20I since the semi-final in West Indies where they lost to South Africa. They have been great in the white-ball format beating South Africa in ODIs. Since their last appearance in the T20 World Cup, Afghanistan have played two one-day international series and won both of them. They will be confident coming into this series having dominated Zimbabwe in the T20 format over the years. Rashid Khan, Noor Ahmed, and Mujeeb Ur Rahman will be leading the spin-bowling attack for Afghanistan in the series. In the pace department, they’ve got Naveen ul Haq, Fazalhaq Farooqi, and bowling all-rounder Azmatullah Omarzai. There is plenty of firepower in this bowling attack and we expect most of them to deliver crucial breakthroughs at regular intervals. They also have experienced all-rounders like Mohammad Nabi and Gulbadin Naib in the squad for the T20Is. Weather Conditions It will be clear and sunny in Harare on the match day with a high of 32 degrees Celsius. The match is scheduled for the afternoon and we expect the weather to help batters early on. ZIM vs AFG Pitch Report It is a balanced wicket at the Harare Sports Club with the bowlers also finding significant help from the surface. The average 1st innings score in the last 10 T20 matches here is 160 runs. The highest score successfully chased at this venue in recent games is 163 runs. We reckon anything around 165-170 will be a highly competitive 1st innings total in this match. Toss: To Bat Teams batting first have won 33 of the 55 T20Is played at this venue. It is not a high-scoring venue and having runs on the board will give the batting team an edge over the opposition. The visitors should be confident of defending a total given their bowling strength.
