Analysis:
Afghanistan suffered a shocking 10-wicket loss to Zimbabwe in the first Test match. Their biggest match-winner, Rashid Khan was not available for the previous match because of a finger injury. This left them in dire straits and this speaks volumes of their heavy dependence on a few players. The inexperienced batting department of Afghanistan too came under the scanner after their paltry batting performances. Ibrahim Zadran was the only player to cross the fifty-plus mark in the entire match for Afghanistan. However, Rashid Khan is expected to play in this game.
Zimbabwe were absolutely sensational in the Test match. Their experienced bowling department was in full swing and skittled the Afghanistan batters. Skipper Sean Williams scored a breathtaking in the first innings and absolutely strengthened Zimbabwe’s grip on the game. Blessing Muzarrabani took a total of 6 wickets in the entire game and is a hot-pick in this match.
