ZIM vs AFG 2024/25, Zimbabwe vs Afghanistan 3rd T20I, Harare Match Report, December 14, 2024


Shake Afghanistan chose to bowl vs. Zimbabwe

Afghanistan captain Rashid Khan won his third consecutive toss and opted to bowl in the final T20I against Zimbabwe after batting first in the previous two games.

Rashid announced a change from the team that won the second T20I on Saturday. Left-arm seamer Fazalhaq Farooqi replaced Fareed Ahmad in a like-for-like replacement.
Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza also made one change to his team from the previous match. He brought in bowling all-rounder Faraz Akram in place of spin bowling all-rounder Ryan Burl. Akram has so far played nine T20Is, the last of which was against India in July.
The three-match series between Zimbabwe and Afghanistan is tied 1-1 after the first two matches. While Zimbabwe won a last-ball thriller in the first match, Afghanistan responded with a 50-run victory in the second.
However, Zimbabwe are yet to win a bilateral T20I series against Afghanistan, having lost all five series so far.
