Pitch Report
The pitch at the Harare Sports Club is a competitive one with ample help available for both the pacers and spinners. There shouldn't be much swing available early on, allowing batters to go all out in the powerplay phase. As the match progresses, the pitch should slow down and bring the spinners into play. A change of pace will be key in the backend of the innings, with both teams looking to bat first upon winning the toss.
Today's ZIM vs AFG Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Regis Chakabva: Regis Chakabva, who has been one of Zimbabwe's go-to batters across all formats in the last few years, hasn't had the best of form over the last few years. He has been moved all over the place in the Zimbabwe batting order, owing to his poor form. But given his explosiveness with the bat, Chakabva could be backed to get some runs in the game.
Batter
Hazratullah Zazai: Hazratullah Zazai has been decent at the top of the Afghan batting unit so far, scoring some quick runs in the powerplay. Although he is one of the most destructive batters in the world, he does have some limitations when it comes to strike rotation and building an innings. But given the form that he is in at the moment, Zazai should be a good addition to your ZIM vs AFG Dream11 fantasy team.
All-rounder
Sikandar Raza: Sikandar Raza has been Zimbabwe's best batter in the T20I series, coming up with two valuable performances in the middle order. While Raza continues to excel with the bat, he can also add value on the bowling front, holding him in good stead and making him a must-have in your ZIM vs AFG Dream11 fantasy team.
Bowler
Rashid Khan: Rashid Khan is perhaps the best T20 bowler in the world with his record speaking for itself. He has been in fine form on this tour, picking up 10 wickets in five matches across both formats. With Rashid likely to play a part with the bat as well, he is one to watch out for in this game.
