Afghanistan took a 1-0 lead in the T20Is after levelling the Test series 1-1 with a dominating performance in both the matches. They made a splendid comeback after losing the first test match in this tour and are high on confidence with back-to-back wins across different formats. Zimbabwe on the other hand will look to win this match and level the series 1-1. Zimbabwe will need to bring out their spirited performances to showcase their worth against this experienced Afghanistan attack. We expect both Zimbabwe and Afghanistan to have a cracking contest with a series win on line.

Afghanistan Preview

Afghan openers Rahmanullah Gurbaz (87 runs) and Karim Janat (26 runs) set the tone the match with their 80-run opening partnership. Later Gurbaz shared another 74-run partnership with skipper Ashgar Afghan (55 run) to take their team to a massive total of 198 runs.

Star Spinner Rashid Khan lead the bowling attack with 3 wickets while pacers Karim Janat and Fareed Malik took 2 wickets each to strangle the opposition to just 150/7 in the chase thereby winning the match comfortably by 48 runs.

Top players to bet on:

Rahmanullah Gurbaz – Gurbaz was superb last match scoring 87 runs at a massive strike rate of 194. He smashed 7 sixes and 6 boundaries in his knock and took on the opposition bowler right from the first over.

Rashid Khan – Rashid Khan had bowling figures of 3/28 in the last game taking wickets at crucial junctures of the match. We expect him to continue his good form with the ball in this match too.

Afghanistan Predicted Playing XI:

Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Karim Janat, Usman Ghani, Hashmatullah Shahidi, Asghar Afghan (c), Najibullah Zadran, Mohammad Nabi, Rashid Khan, Amir Hamza, Naveen-ul-Haq, Fareed Malik

Zimbabwe Preview

Zimbabwe batting line-up failed to build partnerships as they lost wickets at regular intervals. Tinashe opened the batting and was their highest run getter with 44 runs while the duo of Sean Willaims and Sikander Raza played a small 20+ cameo but failed to get going in the chase.

Their bowlers went for lot of runs and failed to take wickets at the top as they claimed just 2 wickets inside 19 overs.  Ngarava and Muzurabani picked up 2 wickets each but failed to control the run flow.

Top players to bet on:

Sikander Raza – Raza looked to give momentum in the chase with his 14-ball 22 runs but he failed to kick on after getting a start. He will look to make a big score in this match and bowl his off-spinners effectively at the top.

Sean Williams – Skipper Williams scored 22 runs and bowled a lone over that cost 14 runs. He must look to lead his team from the front in this match and make an all-round performance and lead his team to victory.

Zimbabwe Predicted Playing XI:

Tarisai Musakanda, Tinashe Kamunhukamwe, Sean Williams (c), Wesley Madhevere, Sikandar Raza, Richmond Mutumbami (wk), Ryan Burl, Donald Tiripano, Brandon Mavuta, Blessing Muzarabani, Richard Ngarava

Weather Conditions

Abu Dhabi will have a hot and humid climate on all the match days. No rain or weather interruptions are expected in this match.

Venue Details

Abu Dhabi is one of the good tracks in the UAE where batsmen will enjoy the true bounce and pace on offer. We expect both teams to score around 160-170 runs in this match. And the ground has a slightly bigger boundaries when compared to other grounds.  

Toss: To Bat

Batting first is best option in this pitch as the pitch seems to slow down and aids the bowlers more in the second innings.

Afghanistan is one of top teams in the T20I format with a good win-loss ratio in the last 2-3 years across all teams. Their players have experience of playing across different leagues and are more experienced than their counterparts. Zimbabwe are short on experience and match practice when compared to Afghanistan and lack the X-factor in both batting and bowling departments.  We expect Afghanistan to win this match and seal the series 2-0.

Afghanistan will win the match & series 2-0
