Preview:

Afghanistan will take on Zimbabwe for the second Test match of this two-match series at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. Afghanistan lost the first test by a huge margin of 10 wickets. Zimbabwe totally outplayed them in all the departments, especially with the bat. Afghanistan’s batting unit faltered on a surface that was very good for batting. Rashid Khan is expected to come back into the team as he missed the first Test due to injury. Overall, they will have to tackle the Zimbabwean pacers in a better way.

On the other side, Zimbabwe were clearly the better side with both bat and ball in the last game. The pace battery delivered when they needed and never gave Afghanistan the chance to build a partnership. However, there are some concerns with the bat for them as well. Overall, Zimbabwe are the clear favourites to win the second match and clinch the series with a 2-0 scoreline.

The wicket at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium was by no means a poor wicket. It ended in just two days because of poor batting from the losing side. However, the team winning the toss should bat first.

AFG vs ZIM Top Picks for Today’s Dream11 Match

Sean Williams led from the front in the previous match and was easily the difference between the two teams. Sean Williams has been scoring at an average above 70 in Test cricket since 2019.  He scored a brilliant 105 in the first match.

Victor Nyauchi and Blessing Muzarabani took 12 wickets together in the last game. Both of them destroyed the Afghan top-order with the new ball and will try to have the same impact in this match as well.

Ibrahim Zadran was the only Afghan batsman who looked comfortable on this wicket from his side. He fought well in the second innings of the last match and made a brilliant 76. He will open the innings once again and can be a very good pick in your Dream11 Fantasy team.

Amir Hamza took six wickets in the first innings of the first Test. He was the only one who could deliver for Afghanistan with the ball. Looking at the conditions, he is certainly a must-pick.

Rahmat Shah could not perform well in the first Test, but his 300+ runs in Test cricket at an average of over 30 makes him a top pick.
