    "editor1": "<p><strong>AFG vs ZIM&nbsp;2nd T20I, Cricket Tips:&nbsp;<\/strong>As expected, Afghanistan bulldozed Zimbabwe in the first game of the three-match T20I series in Sharjah. After sheer dominating over Zimbabwe during the tri-series, the Afghan bowlers didn&#39;t give an inch to them in the first T20I either. For the third time in the last few days, Zimbabwe looked horrible with the bat.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Rashid Khan bagged yet another MOTM award and was untoppable. Now, Afghanistan have a 1-0 lead, and they will look to win the series next. The second T20I will be held at Sharjah Cricket Stadium, starting at 8 PM IST on Thursday. Can Zimbabwe find some form and show some batsmanship against Afghanistan?<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>AFG vs ZIM: Match Details<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><strong>Date<\/strong>: October 29, 2026 (Thursday)<\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Time<\/strong>: 8:00 PM IST<\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Venue<\/strong>: Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>AFG vs ZIM: Live Streaming Details<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n<p>The only option to watch the upcoming game is through the FanCode streaming platform in India.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>AFG vs ZIM: Head-to-Head in T20Is<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><strong>Total Matches: <\/strong>22<\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Afghanistan<\/strong>: 20<\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Zimbabwe<\/strong>: 02<\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong>No-result:<\/strong> 0<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>AFG vs ZIM: Ground Pitch Report<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n<p>There is good assistance for the bowlers in this wicket.
