Zimbabwe and Afghanistan cricket teams will commence their three-match T20I series with the opening game at the Harare Sports Club on December 11. The match marks the first T20I meeting between the two sides after nearly two-and-a-half years.

Ahead of this game, here is a look at the Dream11 predictions, the fantasy cricket tips, the pitch report and the best predicted XIs for the fantasy contests of the match.

ZIM vs AFG 1st T20I Preview

The Zimbabwe cricket team toppled Pakistan earlier this week to avoid a series whitewash at home. A couple of months ago, Sikandar Raza and co. secured the top spot at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Sub Regional Africa Group B Qualifier. In a bid to sustain their newfound winning rhythm, it is imperative for captain Raza to lead his spirited troops by example on the field. Tadiwanashe Marumani with the bat and Richard Ngarava with the ball will start out as some of the primary in-form members for the hosts.

The Afghanistan cricket team has secured 3-0 wins in each of their last two T20I rubbers against Zimbabwe. Moreover, Afghanistan also finished this year’s 2024 T20 World Cup as one of the four semi-finalists. Under the leadership of charismatic all-rounder Rashid Khan, Afghanistan will be aiming to register another T20I series away from home. Attacking top-order batter Rahmanullah Gurbaz, senior all-rounder Mohammad Nabi and new ball paceman Fazalhaq Farooqi are all capable of making a significant impact on the field with their presence.
