Zimbabwe Betting Analysis

Zimbabwe owe plenty of their success in the first T20i to bowler Richard Ngarava. His three wickets, including the key scalp of Rahmanullah Gurbaz in the first over of the match was crucial for the hosts. Such a performance will have given him huge confidence and he is well worth backing to accumulate over 1.5 match wickets for the second game running.

Afghanistan Betting Analysis

Batter Hazratullah Zazai got himself in but ended up not being able to go on and play a big innings. Batting at number three, Zazai played aggressively, striking two 4s and a 6 in his 20 from just 15 balls. It showed promise moving forward and if Zazai can play with slightly more control, then a big score could be on the cards here. Bettors should consider backing him to hit 20+ runs.

Zimbabwe vs Afghanistan Expert Prediction

It’s important to note that Wednesday was Afghanistan’s first T20i for a significant period of time, whilst Zimbabwe are coming off the back of games against Pakistan. That may well have had an impact in the contest, with Afghanistan perhaps not quite match-sharp and at their very best. Despite this, the game went to the wire and a slight improvement from the tourists should see them triumph on this occasion.
