Zimbabwe is coming off from a disappointing tri-series in Bangladesh where after a solitary win over Sri Lanka, they failed miserably in rest of the matches. They have also lost the two-match T20I series against Afghanistan. These ODIs will work as practice for World Cup qualifiers which start in March. Zimbabwe has a stern test ahead.
Afghanistan last played an ODI series against their familiar foe, Ireland. After winning the first ODI comfortably, Afghani team faltered in next two matches and lost the series. Now on familiar and helpful pitches of UAE, defeating Zimbabwe will give them the confidence going into the World Cup qualifiers.
