ZIM VS AFG 2ND T20I

After a thrilling opening encounter that went down to the wire, Zimbabwe will aim to seal the series in the second T20I, while Afghanistan will be desperate to bounce back and force a decider. The action continues at the Harare Sports Club, and we can expect another cracking contest. Afghanistan, known for their resilience, will be eager to rectify the mistakes of the first game. Their top order, led by the dynamic Rahmanullah Gurbaz, struggled to fire, and they’ll need a stronger start this time. The middle-order duo of Karim Janat and Mohammad Nabi rescued them with a gritty effort to post a competitive 144, but the bowlers couldn’t capitalize. Despite an early breakthrough, partnerships from the hosts put Afghanistan on the back foot. Rashid Khan and Mujeeb Ur Rahman, typically reliable, had a tough outing, failing to be at their best initially, which proved costly. Meanwhile, Zimbabwe will be buoyed by their spirited victory and look to ride the momentum. Richard Ngarava and Blessing Muzarabani were outstanding with the ball, stifling Afghanistan’s batters early on. In the chase, Brian Bennett and Dion Myers anchored the innings, and despite some late nerves, Tashinga Musekiwa kept calm to finish the job. With home support and confidence on their side, Zimbabwe now have a golden chance to wrap up the series. It’s a must-win for Afghanistan and a chance for Zimbabwe to seal the deal! Everything to play for in this high-stakes clash!
