Zimbabwe and Afghanistan are set to clash in the second match of their three-match ODI series on Thursday, 19 December, at Harare Sports Club. The first match of the series ended in disappointment as rain forced its cancellation. With the series effectively starting from this second game, both teams will be eager to make a strong statement. Afghanistan will aim to capitalize on their bowling momentum, while Zimbabwe will look to bounce back and put up a competitive performance in their home conditions.
