Strengths :
Afghanistan’s strength is the presence of Rahmat Shah, Hashmatullah Shahidi and Asghar Afghan in the batting as all three batsmen have good experience and then in bowling they have Amir Hamza, Zahir Khan who have been good in domestic cricket over the years and they also have some fine players like Afsar Zazai, Ibrahim Zadran, Yamin Ahmadzai who have been good for a long time.
On the other hand, Zimbabwe’s strength is their all rounders Sean Williams, Sikadar Raza, Ryan Burl and youngster Wesley Madhevere who will be key for their team in batting as well as bowling.
Weaknesses :
Afghanistan have picked a few new players for this Test series and they’re also without their main bowler Rashid Khan who is injured, for this Test and his absence will be felt in bowling and their new comers aren’t favourable to these UAE conditions so it won’t be easy for them.
On the other side, Zimbabwe’s batting isn’t strong as they’re without experienced Brendan Taylor and Craig Ervine and new young players will face a lot of issues against Afghanistan spinners.

Afghanistan as well as Zimbabwe should go with a batting dominated side and bowing department should have at least two spinners.
