ZIM vs AFG Weather Report, Pitch Report Of Harare- Only Test, Afghanistan Tour of Zimbabwe 2025:
ZIM vs AFG Weather Report of Harare:
There is a little chance of rain during the ZIM vs AFG game in Harare. The maximum temperature is predicted to be 33°C, while the minimum temperature would be 13°C.
ZIM vs AFG Pitch Report of Harare Sports Club:
The surface at the Harare Sports Club is expected to have a lot of assistance for the bowlers throughout the game.
Meaning that the batters will have their task cut out and will have to play with patience, especially in the first hour of play on all five days.
Having said that, the batters who are ready to apply themselves and play according to the merit of the ball will have a greater chance of scoring runs on this wicket as compared to those who like to play in an attacking manner.
The fast bowlers can extract the help that is available in the pitch if they pitch the ball in the right areas and allow it to swing rather than hitting the deck with the conditions being on the cooler side.
Once the ball gets old, the pacers can switch to Plan B, which should be to use the reverse swing to good effect.
As far as the spinners are concerned, they might also find a bit of turn if they bowl wicket to wicket and get one ball to turn just a little and the other to go straight after pitching, which will sow the seeds of doubt in the batter's mind.
If we compare the personnel that both teams have at their disposal, Zimbabwe is a little richer in experience as compared to their opponent, Afghanistan.
Zimbabwe has two experienced fast bowlers, Richard Ngarava and Blessing Muzarabani, both of whom will begin proceedings with the ball for the home team from either end.
To add to that, Zimbabwe, being the home team, also has the advantage of knowing the conditions far better than Afghanistan.
Afghanistan, on the other hand, is without the services of Rashid Khan, who happens to be Afghanistan's most experienced bowler. The spinner has not been picked for this particular match.
All things said, the ZIM vs AFG one-off Test promises to be a fierce battle between bat and ball as both teams would want to give their best in an attempt to start the multi-format series on the right note.
Conclusion
Zimbabwe would like to make full use of their home conditions and come up with a strong performance against Afghanistan in the one-off Test in Harare.
As far as Afghanistan is concerned, the visitors would want to continue the good run of form, having won a series against Bangladesh, although in a different format.
