Afghanistan vs Zimbabwe LIVE Streaming:Afghanistan, led by Rahmat Shah, will begin its campaign against a Zimbabwe side captained by Sikandar Raza.
Zimbabwe enter the contest after securing a convincing 99-run victory over Bangladesh in the series opener, while Afghanistan will be eager to start its campaign with a win.
Zimbabwe’s opening-match performance was highlighted by Craig Ervine’s impressive 93, which helped his team establish control against Bangladesh. The victory also gave Raza his first ODI win as Zimbabwe captain, providing the side with momentum ahead of a challenging fixture against Afghanistan.
Afghanistan, meanwhile, arrive with strong recent ODI form after completing a 4-0 series sweep against Ireland. The team will look to its experienced core, including Rahmat Shah, Hashmatullah Shahidi, Mohammad Nabi and Rashid Khan, to make an immediate impact in the tri-series.
The head-to-head record favours Afghanistan, which has won 20 of the 30 ODIs played between the sides, compared with Zimbabwe’s 10 victories. Rashid Khan will be one of Afghanistan’s key players, while Zimbabwe will hope veteran batter Craig Ervine can continue his form against a formidable Afghan bowling attack.
