Afghanistan has won two out of the four matches that the two sides have featured in, while Zimbabwe has succeeded in winning one match, with one game ending in a draw.
The rivalry in question is quite new, which began in 2021 when Zimbabwe went to Afghanistan's adopted home UAE, to take part in a two-match Test series.
Zimbabwe had a good start to the series with a ten-wicket win, but were defeated by the Afghans in the next game by six wickets to give them their first win over Zimbabwe.

Both Zimbabwe and Afghanistan would look to put their best foot forward in the upcoming match.
As far as the form of both teams is concerned, the home team, i.e., Zimbabwe, has played a good number of Test matches this year, which include a couple of Test matches each against New Zealand and South Africa.
Although they did not succeed in winning any of those games, the experience that the team would have gained by playing against South Africa and New Zealand would come in handy in the match against Afghanistan.
The reason being the Craig Ervine-led side would have learned from the mistakes it made in the games gone by and would want to make sure that they don't repeat them against Afghanistan.
Afghanistan, a team that doesn't get to play a lot of Test matches, would want to make the most of this opportunity.
