How many wickets will Rashid Khan take in this match?
Open poll and resultsAfghanistan vs Zimbabwe prediction
Afghanistan have been by far the best team over the course of this tri-series, and that was only rammed home further by the manner of their victory against Zimbabwe earlier this week. Facing off in Abu Dhabi, Afghanistan batted first and scored 294 before bowling Zimbabwe out for just 136, with Rashid Khan starring by picking up four wickets.
His spin bowling is hard enough to face even on a flat surface like Abu Dhabi, so playing in Sharjah, which can be susceptible to turn, will make taking on Rashid an even bigger nightmare for the Zimbabweans. This immediately tips the scales in Afghanistan’s favour, not to mention the fact that they’ve been batting brilliantly throughout the tri-series. Any outcome other than victory for them would be a significant surprise.
Afghanistan vs Zimbabwe tip: Afghanistan to win
