AFG vs ZIM Dream11 prediction: Match preview

The UAE's Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium, Abu Dhabi will play host to a 2-Test and 3-T20I series between Afghanistan and Zimbabwe starting this month. With the practice match between the two sides ending in a draw after Zimbabwe put on 505 and Afghanistan, 271-8, both teams will be keen to get their series underway. The Afghans will be high on confidence after their 3-0 ODI series whitewash of Ireland at the same venue last month. Favoured to win this match, Afghanistan's last Test was a one-off Test against West Indies in December 2019 which they lost by 9 wickets.

On the other hand, we have Zimbabwe, who will be searching for redemption after having lost their last couple of bilateral series. The most recent of these defeats came against Pakistan where Zimbabwe lost their ODI and T20I series 1-2 and 0-3 respectively. Additionally, Zimbabwe have also lost their last three Test matches — which includes a one-off Test against Bangladesh in February 2020 and a 2-Test series against Sri Lanka in January 2020. Afghanistan and Zimbabwe's last match together, a T20I game, ended in a 7-wicket win for Zimbabwe.
