ZIM vs AFG Match Prediction: 3rd T20I, Fantasy Tips, Playing 11, Pitch Report More – Zimbabwe vs Afghanistan T20I Series 2025

ZIM vs AFG: Afghanistan have proved yet again that they are a good T20I side, as they have beaten Zimbabwe in consecutive matches to win the series. The final T20I between Zimbabwe and Afghanistan is set to take place at Harare Sports Club on Sunday, which will start at 5 PM IST. Here are the fantasy cricket tips and other details of this game.

Zimbabwe Preview 

The T20I series has not gone like Zimbabwe would have liked after winning the only test. They have not shown any kind of fight and surrendered in both games easily. That has put them on the verge of a series whitewash. Do they have anything left in them?

• Key Batters: Sikandar Raza and Brian Bennett have shown some kind of maturity to spend some time on the crease.
• Captaincy: Captain Sikandar Raza has done everything he could and tried to bail out his team from a pressure situation with bat and ball.
• Batting Strength: The batting has flopped for Zimbabwe in both games. They have been all out for 127 and 125 in two innings and have not even completed their full quota of 20 overs. That has been the problem with them.
• Bowling Attack: With not much score on the board, the bowlers have also not had much to bowl with. The bowling has still done well, but low scores have not left them taking chances.

Afghanistan Preview 

Afghanistan have been superb in both departments. They have had performances from different players at different stages. That has been the reason for their success because they are not relying on one or two players, like Zimbabwe. They have good players for these conditions, and they have done well.

• Batting: Ibrahim Zadran and Rahmanullah Gurbaz have been brilliant at the top. They do the bulk of the scoring for the team and are the main strength. Then Azmatullah Omarzai and other all-rounders get into the action to do the finishing job.
• Bowling: Rashid Khan himself is among the top T20I bowlers, and Afghanistan have a corps of leading spinners on their side. The winning confidence has also helped their pacers, and they are also taking regular wickets now.

ZIM vs AFG Match Prediction – Who Will Win? 

Without a doubt, Afghanistan will start the third and final game as favorites. They have been the superior side of the two and outperformed Zimbabwe with bat and ball. Zimbabwe have struggled with the bat, and none of their batters have scored a combined 40+ runs in two innings. That is why we believe that Afghanistan will win this game.
