How many wickets will Fazalhaq Farooqi take across this T20i series?
Open poll and resultsAfghanistan vs Zimbabwe prediction
Afghanistan were flawless across their 50-over tri-series against Bangladesh and Zimbabwe, winning all three games they played. They now look to carry this form into the shortest format of the game as they lock horns with the latter in a three-match T20i series. It’s hard not to be impressed with what Afghanistan have shown so far in the UAE. Not only have they accumulated runs well with the bat, but the bowlers have been excellent, taking all 30 wickets available to them across the tri-series.
Zimbabwe couldn’t get close to them in the ODIs, and despite the change in format, it’s hard to see them matching Afghanistan in 20-over cricket. The Chevrons simply haven’t had an answer to a bowling attack including quality players such as Rashid Khan and Fazalhaq Farooqi, so the sensible move in this one would be backing Afghanistan to win.
