Zimbabwe will face Afghanistan in the third match of the three T20 matches at Harare Sports Club in Harare on 14 December. Host Zimbabwe will be confident after defeating Afghanistan in the first match of the series. They have also defeated Pakistan in the last T20. In such a situation, they would like to win another match and capture the series. Apart from this, the Afghanistan team will be expected to make a comeback.
Afghanistan has suffered a major setback in the series against Zimbabwe. Actually, the team's star batsman Ibrahim Zadran has been ruled out due to injury. However, Mujeeb Ur Rahman has been included in his place, who can contribute in bowling as well as batting.
So far only 3 T20 international matches have been played between these two teams. Out of these 3 matches, Zimbabwe has won 2 matches, while Afghanistan has won 1 match. This statistic clearly shows that Zimbabwe has had a slight dominance against Afghanistan in this format, but Afghanistan has also registered a win, which can be important for their confidence.

The third T20 match between host Zimbabwe and guest Afghanistan cricket teams is to be played today at Harare Sports Club in Harare. A lot of runs have been scored on the pitch here in T20 international cricket and a similar pitch is ready this time too. The highest T20 score here was made by India against the host team in July this year. In that match, Team India had scored a record 234 runs for 2 wickets. The average score of the team batting first in Harare is 158 runs which tells how many opportunities the batsmen will get to hit boundaries here. Among the bowlers, fast bowlers can definitely take some wickets in the beginning but as the match progresses, spinners will be seen showing their spin magic here.
The weather will be cloudy during the Afghanistan vs Zimbabwe match on Saturday, 14th December. The temperature is expected to be around 27°C on the match day, with 27% humidity and 7.0 km/h wind speed. And the visibility is 10 km. There is no chance of precipitation during the game.
