Zimbabwe vs Afghanistan Predictions
Afghanistan have had a horror run of defeats in T20Is, losing five of their last five matches. Zimbabwe have won their last five T20Is, but they were against teams ranked below the Top 10 in world cricket. I’m backing Afghanistan’s superior credentials to ensure they beat Zimbabwe.
