AFG vs ZIM  Match Details — 1st T20I   

The first match of the T20I series between Afghanistan and Zimbabwe will take place today at Sharjah Cricket Stadium. Afghanistan's recent performance in the T20 format has not been good; they won only 1 of their past 5 matches. Ibrahim Zadran will lead the AFG team in this series along with Sediqullah Atal, Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Rashid Khan.

On the other hand, Zimbabwe played their last match against South Africa. They lost the final of the Tri-Series by 48 runs. Zimbabwe also won just 2 out of their last 5 matches. Sikandar Raza will continue to lead the Zimbabwe side, and the inclusion of Brian Bennett and Brad Evans in their team makes them strong and balanced.
