Zimbabwe Preview

Zimbabwe face a confidence crisis after a 7-wicket loss. Batters are under immense pressure to perform, especially after struggling in the previous game. With the series lost, they aim for a face-saving win. Captain Sikandar Raza expects a strong showing from the top and middle order, particularly Brian Bennett, Dion Myers, Brendan Taylor (who needs to build partnerships with Raza and Ryan Burl), Tony Munyonga, Tashinga Musekiwa, and Brad Evans, to achieve a high total. The bowling attack, led by Richard Ngarava and Wellington Masakadza, must take early wickets, with Raza, Brad Evans, Tinotenda Maposa, and Ryan Burl supporting.

Key Players: Craig Ervine, Brian Bennett, Tanaka Chivanga, Ben Curran

Afghanistan Preview

Afghanistan, confident after winning five of their last six games against Zimbabwe, aims for a 3-0 series victory. Their bowlers have consistently troubled the hosts, and the team's top order, including openers Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran, is in good form. Sediqullah Atal, Azmatullah Omarzai, Darwish Rasooli, Mohammad Nabi, Rashid Khan, and Shahidullah Kamal are expected to contribute runs. The bowling attack, led by Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Azmatullah Omarzai, Rashid Khan, and Fareed Ahmad Malik, with support from Abdullah Ahmadzai and Mohammad Nabi, looks to continue its strong performance. Zimbabwe's batters face pressure to perform. This marks Afghanistan's 18th win in 20 T20Is against Zimbabwe. They had earlier lost the Test series against their hosts, coupled with their poor T20 run and an Asia Cup struggle.
