The Afghanistan men’s team are scheduled to tour Zimbabwe for a 3 ODI and 3 T20I series that starts on Saturday. In this article, we will be previewing the ZIM vs AFG series and provide live telecast and streaming details for the games.
Team Forms
Hosts Zimbabwe will be heading into the 6-match LOI series with some major points to prove. The men in red-and-gold would still be hurting from the disappointing 3-2 T20I series loss that they were made to cop against Namibia a few days back. A major boost for the home side will be the return of their star speedster, Blessing Muzarabani, into the setup. The 25-year-old pacer has shown great form in recent times, which even allowed him to participate as a net-bowler for Lucknow in the recently-concluded IPL.
Afghanistan copped a 2-1 ODI series defeat in their latest assignment against Bangladesh, so the players will clearly have a motivation to win this time around. Something that serves them well is that the likes of Rashid Khan, Mohammed Nabi, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Noor Ahmed, and Fazalhaq Farooqi are all coming with some amount of experience from having participated in the IPL. In fact, Rashid, their MVP, will be on a massive confidence high coming off his first IPL win with the Gujarat Titans. His recently uncovered explosiveness with the bat will surely serve the men in blue-and-red well.
