ZIM vs AFG 3rd T20I Match Preview

Zimbabwe snatched a thrilling last-ball victory in the opening match but was comprehensively outplayed by Afghanistan in the second T20I. With everything to play for, this final game holds immense significance for both sides, offering a chance to showcase their mettle on the international stage.

Zimbabwe, led by the ever-reliable Sikandar Raza, have shown flashes of brilliance in the series. After defeating Afghanistan in the first T20I, the hosts stumbled in the second, falling short by 50 runs. Captain Raza, who has been a standout performer with both bat and ball, will be pivotal in Zimbabwe’s bid to reclaim the upper hand. Key contributions from in-form batter Brian Bennett and pace spearhead Richard Ngarava will also be crucial if Zimbabwe are to seal the series at home.

On the other hand, Afghanistan will be riding high on their second-match triumph. Led by the charismatic Rashid Khan, the visitors delivered a clinical performance to level the series. The bowling unit, led by Naveen-ul-Haq and Rashid himself, has been exceptional. With Rahmanullah Gurbaz providing fireworks at the top of the order and Mohammad Nabi anchoring the middle, Afghanistan will look to carry forward their momentum and clinch a rare away series victory.
