This game will start at 5 PM IST on October 29. Sikandar Raza and his team will look to carry on the momentum they earned from winning the test.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>But the challenge will be bigger because they have a poor record against Afghanistan. Rashid Khan and his men have been performing well in this format. They have good players, and some of them are in good form. That will make this game an interesting contest.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><meta name=\"generator\" content=\"quillbot-gc\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>ZIM vs AFG: Match Details<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><strong>Date<\/strong>: October 29 (Wednesday)<\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Time<\/strong>: 5 PM IST<\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Venue<\/strong>: Harare Sports Club, Harare<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>ZIM vs AFG: Live Streaming Details<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Indian fans can watch the live action of the game on the FanCode mobile app or website, which needs a paid subscription.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>ZIM vs AFG: Head-to-Head in T20Is<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><strong>Total<\/strong> <strong>Matches<\/strong>: 18<\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Zimbabwe<\/strong>: 02<\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Afghanistan<\/strong>: 16<\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong>No<\/strong> <strong>Result<\/strong>: 00<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>ZIM vs AFG: Ground Pitch Report<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Harare Sports Club will offer a firm wicket initially, and it will be good for batting early on. But it will get slower with time, and spinners will start getting turn and grip. The batting in the second innings will be challenging, and batting first is recommended here.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>ZIM vs AFG: Possible XIs<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Zimbabwe<\/strong>: Brian Bennett, Brendan Taylor (wk), Tadiwanashe Marumani, Ryan Burl, Sikandar Raza (c), Tony Munyonga, Brad Evans, Tashinga Musekiwa, Richard Ngarava, Tinotenda Maposa, Blessing Muzarabani<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Afghanistan<\/strong>: Sediq Atal, Ibrahim Zadran, Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Azmatullah Omarzai, Md. Nabi, Rashid Khan (c), Darwish Rasooli, Sharafuddin Ashraf, Noor Ahmad, Fareed Ahmad Malik, Mujeeb-ur-Rahman<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>ZIM vs AFG: Players to Watch out for<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Probable Best Batter<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Sikandar Raza showed good form in the Test as well, and at home he will be our pick as a batter. For Afghanistan, Rahmanullah Gurbaz has been the key batter at the top.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Probable Best Bowler<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Richard Ngarava took a fifer in the last innings to help his team win the Test against Afghanistan. He is tall and can generate good bounce from this wicket to trouble the batters. For Afghanistan, Rashid Khan is the trump card with the ball.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Today<\/strong> <strong>Match<\/strong> <strong>Prediction<\/strong>: Zimbabwe won the test match, but Afghanistan are currently favorites because of their dominating record over them.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>ZIM vs AFG Match 1st T20I, Today Match ZIM vs AFG, ZIM vs AFG Prediction, ZIM vs AFG Predicted XIs, Injury Update of the match between Zimbabwe vs Afghanistan<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h5><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/live-cricket-score\">LIVE Cricket Score<\/a><\/h5><p><strong>Disclaimer<\/strong>: The prediction or cricket tips are purely based on the understanding and research of the writer.
