Afghanistan and Zimbabwe will face each other in the second match of the ongoing tri-series which features the likes of Rashid Khan and Mohd Nabi on Saturday.
After a historic win against Bangladesh in the one-off Test, Afghanistan is back into familiar territory with the Asian side accounting for various teams over the past in this format. On the other hand, Zimbabwe, who recently were debarred from competing in ICC events, look to reinstate their credentials against Afghanistan. Although they lack in firepower, Zimbabwe cannot be taken lightly by Rashid Khan and co.

The pitch should have something in it for both pacers and spinners. The powerplay overs will be crucial for either side with the sole aim of a suitable platform to be set for a launch towards the latter half of the innings. 150 should be par on this surface with the spinners having a major say in the proceedings
Weather Report
The weather forecast for this game isn’t too good with persistent rains on the cards for the entire day. Even if a game does happen, spinners will get some turn later on with the pacers depending on change ups.
