Zimbabwe are set to host Afghanistan in a three-match ODI series followed by a two-match T20I series. Afghanistan will be led on the battlefield by Hashmatullah Shahidi while Craig Ervine will be leading the Zimbabwe side.

An even contest is expected to be on the cards when these two sides take on each other. Afghanistan will enter this contest on the back of a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Bangladesh in a three-match ODI series, while Zimbabwe lost 2-1 to Sri Lanka.

This could end up being a really interesting contest. Afghanistan have earned a reputation as giant-slayers for themselves while the Zimbabwe side has shown glimpses of what they are capable of.
