Strengths :
Afghanistan’s strength is their batting as well as bowling in these UAE conditions. In the first match they showed why they’re good side in this format. Opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz who scored 87 in first game is in fine form and gives a flying start and for support Karim Janat too is doing well and then captain Asghar Afghan is also in good form and in the middle order they have Mohammad Nabi and Najibullah Zadran who can play big shots and in bowling Rashid Khan is the leader of attack and the likes of Karim Janat, Fareed Malik and Naveen ul Haq too are doing decent job.
On the other side, Zimbabwe’s strength is also their batting as the likes of Sean Williams, Sikandar Raza etc are in good form and opener Tinashe Kamunhukamwe too played a good innings and they also have some talented players like Wesley Madhvere, Ryan Burl and Milton Shumba who have good potential. In bowling Blessing Muzarabani and Richard Ngarava are the key bowlers for them.
Weaknesses :
Afghanistan’s middle order isn’t that strong and if couple of early wickets fall then they can be trouble and all rounder Nabi’s form is also a concern as he hasn’t taken wicket since March 2019 in this format.
On the other side, Zimbabwe have an inexperienced side in this format, don’t have a good spinner and also their new batsmen are struggling against spin and they need someone in top order who can anchor the innings.
