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.

ZIM vs AFG Match Prediction & Analysis Though the 1st ODI was washed out due to rain, Afghanistan had found themselves on top of the game after they won the toss and opted to bowl first. The hosts were reduced to 5 down for 44 runs in the 10th Over. Craig Ervine will be concerned about the batting collapse in the first match and will expect a quick turnaround as they take on Afghanistan in the second game at the same venue in Harare. Afghanistan are trying out some new faces in the series. There were no Gulbadin Naib and Mujeeb Ur Rahman in the bowling attack while Rahmanullah Gurbaz was also missing from the top-order. TEAMS PREVIEW Zimbabwe Preview It is safe to say that rain saved the home team in the opening game. It could have been a humiliating defeat had the game gone on. Zimbabwe need to find answers to their batting troubles. Craig Ervine, Sean Williams, and Sikandar Raza are the experienced players in the lower middle order. These 3 will be expected to deliver crucial runs and also build partnerships. However, a lot depends on the top order. A top-order collapse would affect the chances of reaching a competitive total. Ben Curran is opening the innings alongside wicket-keeper batsman Tadiwanashe Marumani. Afghanistan Preview Afghanistan will be confident after their recent outing where their bowlers put Zimbabwe on the back foot. AM Ghazanfar and Azmatullah Omarzai looked threatening with the ball. Along with Rashid Khan, Mohammad Nabi, and Fazalhaq Farooqi, this bowling attack is as strong as it gets. Afghanistan bounced back after the first T20I loss and secured a 2-1 series win. The visitors haven’t had any easy outings on this wicket either and will be fully aware of the batting challenges the pitch poses. They have also got a few inexperienced players in the side like Sediquallah Atal and Abdul Malik who could be seen in the top order. The likes of Rahmat Shah and skipper Hashmatullah Shahidi will play a key role in the middle order. These two have played many impactful knocks against quality sides in the past including in the World Cup. Weather Conditions It will be partly cloudy with a high of 27 degrees Celsius in Harare. Though the previous match was washed out due to rain we expect to have a result in the 2nd ODI as there is no rain forecast on the match day. ZIM vs AFG Pitch Report It is a bowling-friendly wicket where the average 1st innings score in the last 10 ODIs has come down to 188 runs. We reckon anything around 250 will be a highly competitive total on this wicket. Bowlers will be key to victory at this venue and both teams have some promising pacers in the side. Toss: To Bowl Teams bowling first have won 103 of the 198 ODIs played at the Harare Sports Club in Harare. Afghanistan were on top of the game in the opening match after winning the toss and opting to bowl first. Both teams will be eager to bowl first and get the upper hand in the contest with early wickets.

TEAMS PREVIEW Zimbabwe Preview In the batting department, the side will be depending on the likes of Craig Ervine, Sikandar Raza, Sean Williams, Brian Bennett, Tadiwanashe Marumani, and Dion Myers to deliver the bulk of the runs. Since Jan 2024, Craig Ervine has topped the batting charts for Zimbabwe in limited-overs format. In six matches played, Ervine has accumulated 157 runs in six outings with two half-centuries to his name. In the bowling department, the side will be depending on the likes of Blessing Muzarabani, Richard Ngarava, Trevor Gwandu, Sikandar Raza and Wellington Masakadza to deliver timely breakthroughs.

In 11 innings, Gurbaz has accumulated 531 runs at an average of 48.27 with three centuries and two half-centuries to his name. In the bowling department, the side will be relying on the likes of Rashid Khan, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Nangeyalia Karote, AM Ghanzafar, and Gulbadin Naib to deliver timely breakthroughs.

ZIM vs AFG Match Prediction & Analysis We have seen good competition in this series so far. Zimbabwe surprised everyone by winning the first game of the three-match series against Afghanistan by 4 wickets. However, the Afghans bounced back in the last game with a convincing 50-run win. As the battle moves to the series decider, we expect a close contest between the two teams as the hosts would look for a rare series win.    Afghanistan has dominated Zimbabwe in this format. They have lost only twice against them in 17 matches between the two teams. The Afghans have an experienced bowling attack that will enjoy bowling in these conditions. It will be a tall ask for the Zimbabweans, and we expect them to show a positive attitude and fight hard in the middle. TEAMS PREVIEW Zimbabwe Preview Sikandar Raza will be upset with his team’s batting performance in the last game. They succumbed under pressure and wasted an opportunity to win the series. The Zimbabwean skipper would like his players to draw inspiration from their win in the first game. They must play to their strengths to trouble the Afghans.  Brian Bennett must deliver a good start at the top with Tadiwanashe Marumani. The Afghans have a strong bowling attack and shall test them. Dion Myers must do well in the middle order and build partnerships with Wesley Madhevere and Sikandar Raza. Ryan Burl and Tashinga Musekiwa must do well in the finishers’ role.  Afghanistan Preview Rashid Khan’s team will be relieved after their win in the last game. The team was under pressure after losing the first game. The bowling attack performed brilliantly in the last game and delivered blows to the Zimbabwean batting. With the series leveled, Rashid and his men would go for the kill and look to grab the series.  Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Sediqullah Atal failed to convert their start in the last game, and the team expects a strong start from the pair. Darwish Rasooli played a match-winning knock in the last game and shall look to add runs in the middle order with Zubaid Akbari and Azmatullah Omarzai. Khan, Mohammad Nabi, and Gulbadin Naib strengthen the lower middle order.  The bowling attack performed brilliantly in the last game. The team expects early wickets from Naveen-ul-Haq and Mujeeb Ur Rahman to put the hosts under pressure. Rashid Khan is the best bowler in the team and shall look to do well in the middle overs with Omarzai and Fareed Ahmad Malik. Mohammad Nabi and Naib add depth to the bowling.  Weather Conditions There would be some cloud over Harare. The pitch will be a tough one to bat on. Batsmen will have to be cautious in their approach and play patiently. The average first-inning score is just above 155 runs, and the team batting first would be happy to have 180 runs on the board. ZIM vs AFG Pitch Report The pitch at Harare Sports Club is slow, which creates problems for the batsmen. The large outfield is also a challenge. Most players are used to playing in smaller parks in this format. There is early assistance for the fast bowlers, and spinners have done well as the ball tends to stop on the batsmen, creating doubts in their minds. Toss: To Bowl The track is dual-paced, and batting against the spinners is difficult. Batting won’t be easy here at the start, and chasing the score puts the team at an advantage. The side winning the toss here would like to bowl first.

In the series opener, Zimbabwe registered a four-wicket win over Afghanistan, courtesy excellent performances from Brian Bennett, Dion Myers and Richard Ngarava. With this result, Zimbabwe have taken a 1-0 lead in three-match series. On the other hand, Afghanistan will be looking to learn from their mistakes and put in an improved batting performance in a bid to level the T20I series. TEAMS PREVIEW Zimbabwe Preview In the batting department, the side will be relying on captain Sikandar Raza, opener Brian Bennett, wicket-keeper Tadiwanashe Marumani, Dion Myers, Ryan Burl and Wesley Madhevere to deliver the bulk of the runs. In the 1st T20I, opener Brian Bennett played well for Zimbabwe and finished the innings with the top-score of 49 runs off 49 balls with the help of five boundaries. He was well supported by Dion Myers, who scored 32 runs off 29 balls with the help of two boundaries and one six. Afghanistan Preview In the batting department, the side will be relying on the likes of Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Sediqullah Atal, Hazratullah Zazai, Mohammad Ishaq, Karim Janat, Mohammad Nabi and Azmatullah Omarzai to deliver the bulk of the runs. In the series opener, Karim Janat played well for Afghanistan and finished the innings with the top-score of 54 not out off 49 balls with the help of five fours.

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.

AFG vs BAN Match Prediction & Analysis The three-match ODI series set up nicely, with each side winning a game. The Afghans won the first game comfortably, and the Bangladeshis put up a strong fight in the last game, winning by 68 runs. The two sides would battle hard in the third game to grab the series. Both teams have a lot of riding, especially for Bangladesh, as their recent form in this format hasn’t been much to write about.  Afghanistan has won the last four out of five games the team has played. The conditions in the UAE suit the team, and they would like to use it to their advantage. Bangladesh has struggled in the last seven weeks, with this being their first win after eight consecutive losses. It will be interesting to see if they can build on this momentum and upset the Afghans. TEAMS PREVIEW Afghanistan Preview Hashmatullah Shahidi will be upset with his batsmen. In the last game, they failed to chase an easy target on a good batting surface. The side has enjoyed good form in recent games, and the conditions in UAE suit them. Shahidi would like to see a strong comeback from his players and win the series.  Bangladesh Preview Najmul Hossain Shanto’s team finally had something to cheer about after seven weeks of misery, where they lost eight games in a row. The batting lineup finally delivered the goods with the odds stacked against them. Shanto would expect a similar show from his players to win this series and restore lost pride.  Tanzid Hasan and Soumya Sarkar delivered a good start in the last game, and the side expects a similar show. Najmul Hossain Shanto played a captain’s knock in the last game, and he will look to add runs in the middle order with Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Towhid Hridoy. Mahmudullah, Jaker Ali, andb Nasum Ahmed must contribute in the lower middle order.   Weather Conditions It would be clear skies and a humid evening in Sharjah. Batting conditions would be good as the track has always produced big scores. Batsmen can easily play the ball on the rise, and bowlers must use their variations well. The average first-inning score is 254 runs, and the side batting first would like 300 on the board. AFG vs BAN Pitch Report Sharjah Cricket Stadium has been a batting paradise with its flat surface, short boundaries, and fast outfield, allowing batsmen to score runs. Fast bowlers have found it difficult to bowl on this surface, but spinners have done well, as the odd ball can take a sharp turn on this wicket. Toss: To Bat We witnessed slow surfaces in both games, with the side batting first, winning by big margins. The batsmen struggled to time the ball in the second innings. Chasing a score on a slowing surface won’t be easy, and the team winning the toss would look to bat first in this game.

AFG vs BAN Match Prediction & Analysis Afghanistan are on a roll with 5 wins from their last 6 ODIs, including a series win against South Africa at this venue in Sharjah. The 18-year off-break bowler Allah Ghaznafar picked 6 wickets in the opening match against Bangladesh to lead his team to a 92-run win. Bangladesh bowlers did a great job in restricting the opposition to a low total but the batters failed big time. They’ve got all the experienced batters in the top and middle order and a 92-run loss while chasing 236 isn’t expected of this side. TEAMS PREVIEW Afghanistan Preview Skipper Hasmatullah Shahidi scored a slow and cautious half-century in the opening game as others around him failed to get going. 3 of the top 5 batters failed to score double digits while opener Sediqullah Atal scored 21 off 30 balls with 3 fours in his innings. This will be a concern for Afghanistan coming into this match. They will hope for the top-order batters to deliver a good start and a few strong partnerships so that the reliable and experienced players in the middle order can build on that foundation to lead the team to a big total. Bangladesh Preview Bangladesh will be disappointed after the huge loss in the first ODI. It was after 3 consecutive wins against Afghanistan that Bangladesh suffered a defeat. This is their second one-day series of 2024. In their previous series, Bangladesh defeated Sri Lanka 3-1 at home. Opener Tanzid Hasan, number 3 Najmul Hossain Shanto, and wicket-keeper batsman Mushfiqur Rahim at number 6 were among the match-winners for Bangladesh in that series. Weather Conditions It will be clear and sunny with a high of 32 degrees Celsius in Sharjah on the match day. The weather will not affect the match and we can expect a complete 50-over-a-side match at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. AFG vs BAN Pitch Report It is a bowling-friendly wicket where spinners have enjoyed great help in the past. Moreover, in the second innings, batting gets even more difficult. There have been some high-scoring games here in the past but overall, bowlers have the upper hand on this ground. The average 1st innings score at this venue is 232 runs. We reckon a 1st innings total of 260+ should be a match-winning total in this game Toss: To Bat The highest total successfully chased at this venue in ODIs is 185 runs. Teams batting first have won 7 of the last 10 matches played on this ground. The last match saw bowlers enjoy the upper hand here and we reckon defending a total will be the ideal choice for both teams.

Afghanistan vs Bangladesh 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. AFG vs BAN Match Prediction & Analysis After beating South Africa 2-1 in the UAE, Afghanistan is set to battle Bangladesh in a three-match ODI series. The tournament’s first game will be played at Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah, on November 6th from 5 pm onwards. Afghanistan has not lost a series this year in the UAE, but they have not had a good record in recent history when it comes to playing against Bangladesh. Afghanistan won their last ODI series (2-1) in the UAE against South Africa. They registered massive victories against South Africa in the series. They won the first game by 6 wickets with 144 balls remaining followed by a 177-run win in the second. Unfortunately, they lost the third game by 7 wickets. Rahmanullah Gurbaz was the man of the series for his 194 runs in three games. This was Afghanistan’s only loss in the five games they played this year in the UAE. TEAMS PREVIEW Afghanistan Preview Afghanistan is familiar with the UAE pitches. With three wins in the last four games, they will look forward to dominating Bangladesh. Rahmanullah Gurbaz will open the innings. Gurbaz has been their leading run scorer since the start of the last year. He has 1079 runs with four centuries and four half-centuries in 28 innings. He will be the batter to watch out for. With Ibrahim Zadran injured, Riaz Hasan might open up with him. In 7 ODIs Hasan has 165 runs. Afghanistan have added Sediqullah Atal to their squad. Atal recently scored 52, 95*, and 83 in the Emerging Teams Asia Cup T20 tournament. Rahmat Shah will come at number three. Shah has 200 runs in 8 ODIs this year with three half-centuries. Bangladesh Preview Tanzid Hasan Tamim will open the innings for Bangladesh with Soumya Sarkar in the absence of Litton Das. In 15 games since the start of the last year, Tanzid has scored 263 runs at an average of 18.78. Sarkar will be returning to the squad after missing the last ODI. He has 244 runs in the last 6 innings with a century and a half-century. Skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto will come at number three. He is their leading run-scorer since 2023 with 1155 runs in 30 games at an average of 44.82. He has hit three centuries and eight half-centuries. He will be the batter to watch out for. Weather Conditions The weather will be sunny. The temperature will range between 24 and 33. The wind will be flowing from the west at 10-15 kmh.  The stadium has been known for its batting-friendly pitches. Batsmen often enjoy good pace and bounce, making it conducive for stroke play. The ball tends to come onto the bat nicely, allowing for aggressive shots and high-scoring matches.  As the game progresses and the pitch begins to wear, spinners can come into play. Mumbai’s hot and humid conditions can cause the pitch to deteriorate, leading to assistance for spinners, particularly in the latter stages. AFG vs BAN Pitch Report The 1st ODI of the series will be played at Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah, on November 6th from 5 pm onwards. The venue has a capacity of 16,000 spectators and has hosted 9 Tests, more than 100 ODIs & 59 T20Is. Toss: To Bat In the last 10 ODIs, the results have identically favored the teams chasing or defending the target on 5 occasions. The average first innings score is 238.
