ZIM vs AFG 3rd T20I Preview

Mere days after stunning Pakistan to avoid a series whitewash at home, Zimbabwe cricket team upstaged Afghanistan by four wickets in a last-ball thriller to take a 1-0 lead in a fresh three-match rubber. However, Sikandar Raza’s troops were humbled in the very next game, thus setting up an exciting decider in Harare. On December 14, it is imperative for captain Raza to demonstrate his all-round skills against Afghanistan in a bid to lead his team by example. The senior Zimbabwean cricketer will also be relying on his in-form batter Brian Bennett and wicket-taking fast bowler Richard Ngarava to come up clutch in the impending decider.

The Afghanistan cricket team reached the semifinals of the 2024 T20 World Cup earlier this year in the West Indies and the USA. However, under the leadership of charismatic all-rounder Rashid Khan, Afghanistan lost the first T20I to Zimbabwe by four wickets before regaining their winning momentum on December 13 with a 50-run routing of the hosts. With Afghanistan gunning for a rare T20I series victory away from home, it is imperative for attacking top-order batter Rahmanullah Gurbaz, senior all-rounder Mohammad Nabi and new ball paceman Naveen-ul-Haq to make a significant impact against the hosts.
