ZIM vs AFG Match Prediction & Analysis
We have seen good competition in this series so far. Zimbabwe surprised everyone by winning the first game of the three-match series against Afghanistan by 4 wickets. However, the Afghans bounced back in the last game with a convincing 50-run win. As the battle moves to the series decider, we expect a close contest between the two teams as the hosts would look for a rare series win.
Afghanistan has dominated Zimbabwe in this format. They have lost only twice against them in 17 matches between the two teams. The Afghans have an experienced bowling attack that will enjoy bowling in these conditions. It will be a tall ask for the Zimbabweans, and we expect them to show a positive attitude and fight hard in the middle.

Afghanistan Preview
Rashid Khan's team will be relieved after their win in the last game. The team was under pressure after losing the first game.

Darwish Rasooli played a match-winning knock in the last game and shall look to add runs in the middle order with Zubaid Akbari and Azmatullah Omarzai. Khan, Mohammad Nabi, and Gulbadin Naib strengthen the lower middle order.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
There would be some cloud over Harare. The pitch will be a tough one to bat on. Batsmen will have to be cautious in their approach and play patiently. The average first-inning score is just above 155 runs, and the team batting first would be happy to have 180 runs on the board.
ZIM vs AFG Pitch Report
The pitch at Harare Sports Club is slow, which creates problems for the batsmen. The large outfield is also a challenge. Most players are used to playing in smaller parks in this format. There is early assistance for the fast bowlers, and spinners have done well as the ball tends to stop on the batsmen, creating doubts in their minds.
Toss: To Bowl
The track is dual-paced, and batting against the spinners is difficult. Batting won't be easy here at the start, and chasing the score puts the team at an advantage. The side winning the toss here would like to bowl first.
ZIM vs AFG
Winning Prediction
Zimbabwe's inconsistency with the bat haunted them in the last game. The side will need a strong show from the batsmen in this game as they will face a tough bowling attack. The Afghans have depth in their batting and bowling, along with an excellent record against Zimbabwe, giving them an edge.
