PITCH AND CONDITIONS
As seen on Wednesday, the pitch does play well although there is some help for the spinners as well. 170 is a par score here with there being no threat of rain for this game. Teams should prefer chasing on this pitch with dew playing a part as well
AFGHANISTAN
- A couple of changes are on the cards for Afghanistan with vital game time on offer for Dawlat Zadran and Naveen ul Haq. Fareed Malik and Karim Janat should make way for them while the duo of Rashid Khan and Mujeeb ur Rahman remain the key for Afghanistan’s success
- Their batting unit should remain more or less the same although Hazratullah Zazai hasn’t been in the best of form.
- Ashgar Afghan, Mohd Nabi, and Najibullah Zadran have been in sensational form in the middle order although it is the emergence of Rahmanullah that has turned heads among the bowling, Afghanistan must hope that the pitch is going to help the spinners.
PROBABLE PLAYING XI OF AFGHANISTAN
Hazratullah Zazai, Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Najeeb Tarakai, Najibullah Zadran, Asghar Afghan, Mohammad Nabi, Gulbadin Naib, Rashid Khan (c), Karim Janat, Fareed Malik, Mujeeb Ur Rahman
ZIMBABWE
- Time is running out fast for Zimbabwe to make an impact as they face their final game of the tri-series against Afghanistan on Friday.
- Zimbabwe should bring back Craig Ervine to the top of the order with Regis Chakabva not troubling the scorers against Bangladesh on Wednesday
- Senior players, Sean Williams and Brendan Taylor haven’t been able to convert their starts and would be expected to come good in their final game of the tri-series.
PROBABLE PLAYING XI OF ZIMBABWE
Brendan Taylor (wk), Hamilton Masakadza (c), Regis Chakabva, Sean Williams, Tinotenda Mutombodzi, Ryan Burl, Richmond Mutumbami, Neville Madziva, Kyle Jarvis, Ainsley Ndlovu, Chris Mpofu
