Can Zimbabwe get back to winning ways against Afghanistan?
Afghanistan are among the top nations in T20I cricket. The team has an excellent win-loss record of 55-26 in the game's shortest format. Since the Afghans have played a lot of T20 cricket in the UAE, the Asghar Afghan-led outfit starts as the favorite to win the Afghanistan vs Zimbabwe T20I series.
Meanwhile, Zimbabwe last played a T20I series in November, which was against Pakistan. The African side lost all three T20Is to the hosts in Rawalpindi. In fact, Zimbabwe have been winless in the shortest format since October 2019. Their last T20I victory came against Singapore in a tri-series, also featuring Nepal.
Although Zimbabwe have struggled in the T20I format of late, fans should expect Sean Williams' men to give their rivals a run for their money in the upcoming series.
It will be interesting to see if Zimbabwe can end their winless streak ahead of the two ICC T20 World Cup events.
