Zimbabwe and Afghanistan are set to clash once again, after the visitors defeated the Zimbabwean side convincingly to secure a 1-0 lead in the 3-match ODI series. The home side will look forward to returning to winning ways after a crushing defeat in which the entire batting line-up of the team collapsed to just 54 runs in 17 overs of the game chasing a target of 287 runs from Afghanistan. A win for Zimbabwe in the final ODI between the two nations will mean that the series ends in a 1-1 draw, a consolation prize for the home side after they lost the T20 series 2-1.
