Analysis:
Afghanistan have always been a good T20I side and they boast of some quality players in their ranks. Opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz shone with the bat after he struck a sensational 87 off just 45 deliveries. His innings included 6 fours and 7 sixes. Skipper Asghar Afghan is also in blistering form as he scored 55 in the previous game and is a must-pick in the side.
Zimbabwe need to get past the finishing line in this game to prevent a series loss. Their bowling department was a little expensive and conceded runs even though they took regular wickets. Richard Ngarava and Blessing Muzarabani took 2 wickets each in the game. The batsmen could not anchor the chase.
