Zimbabwe vs Afghanistan Predictions

Afghanistan proved their class with a comprehensive win over Zimbabwe in the 1st T20I of the series. Zimbabwe’s batting looks too brittle at this stage to put up enough of a fight against their visitors.

Afghanistan’s Ibrahim Zadran top-scored with 53 off 33 balls against Zimbabwe in the 1st T20I.
Afghanistan’s Rahmanullah Gurbaz has scored 50, 42 & 39 in his last 4 whiteball innings.
Zimbabwe’s Brendan Taylor has scored 39, 123 & 32 in his last 4 innings.

Head-to-Head

Afghanistan have won four and lost one of their last five matches against Zimbabwe, including the last three in a row.

Zimbabwe Form

Zimbabwe’s superb winning run in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup Africa Region ended when they lost to Afghanistan by 53 runs in the 1st T20I played at Harare.

Afghanistan posted 180/6 off their 20 overs, with Sikandar Raza (3/20, econ 5.00) knocking over three of the visitors’ top four batters.

Zimbabwe crashed to 68/7 in the 11th over before Brad Evans (24) and Tinotenda Maposa (32 off 15) got their chase back on track. They folded for 127 all out in the 17th over.

Zimbabwe Team News

Zimbabwe need a huge improvement, especially with the bat, if they hope to put up a decent fight in the 2nd T20I.

Afghanistan Form

Afghanistan ended their frustrating run of defeats with a comprehensive 53-run win against Zimbabwe.

Rahmanullah Gurbaz (39 off 25) and Ibrahim Zadran (52 off 33) set a solid base for Afghanistan to post a competitive score of 180/6 off their 20 overs.

Afghanistan rolled Zimbabwe for 127 off 16.1 overs, with Azmatullah Omarzai (3/29) and Mujeeb Ur Rahman (4/20) the destroyers-in-chief.

Afghanistan Team News

Afghanistan are in good form and are unlikely to make any changes to their team.

Verdict

Zimbabwe v Afghanistan

I am backing Afghanistan to win. I am also backing Ibrahim Zadran to top score for Afghanistan and Mujeeb Ur Rahman to be the best bowler.

Brendan Taylor is a good bet to top score for Zimbabwe.
