ZIM vs AFG Pitch Report of Harare Sports Club:
Harare Sports Club, the venue for the first ZIM vs AFG T20I, has offered a surface that has been good for batting in the recent past, and the case is expected to remain so in this particular match as well, meaning that the ball should come nicely on the bat.
The wicket is also predicted to have some assistance for both fast bowlers and spinners as well, given that they pitch the ball in the right areas.
There will be some swing on offer for the pacers in the initial few overs in the first innings, and they can make good use of that by pitching the ball up and making the batters drive to induce an edge.
Once the sing subsides, they should switch to Plan B, which is to use the cutters and slower balls wisely.
As far as the spinners are concerned, they can also hope to extract whatever turn is available in the surface and keep the batters in check in the middle overs by doing so.
The team that wins the toss should look to bowl first, as that has been the way to go in T20I cricket in the last few years.
To add to that, the conditions are expected to get easier for batting in the second innings, and the batters can chase a score of close to 200.
If the team that bats first wants to increase its chances of winning, it will have to post a minimum of 180-190 runs on the board.
If we talk about the composition of both teams for the first of the three-match T20I series, both Zimbabwe and Afghanistan have some good quality players who can turn the match in their team's favor.
When it comes to the form of Zimbabwe and Afghanistan, the home team, i.e., Zimbabwe, is a slight favorite to win the match, going by the recent form.
Afghanistan, on the other hand, has a strong record against Zimbabwe in T20I cricket and would want to further strengthen that by winning the opening T20I.
Conclusion
Zimbabwe would like to kick off the three-match T20I series against Afghanistan with a win by replicating the performance the home team delivered in the one-off Test against the same opposition.
As far as Afghanistan is concerned, the visitors will be boosted by the return of T20I captain Rashid Khan, who happens to be one of the senior players in the team and wasn't a part of the squad for the Test match.
