New Delhi: Zimbabwe will face Afghanistan in the 2nd ODI at the Harare Sports Club after the first ODI was washed out due to rains. Earlier, the Afghanistani cricket team won a resounding win in the T20I series and was well on course to clinch victory in the first ODI as well.
Zimbabwe will be led by Craig Ervine, with key players like Sean Williams and Sikandar Raza expected to anchor their performance. On the other hand, Afghanistan, under the captaincy of Hashmatullah Shahidi, will rely on the experience of Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi.
Two debutants named in Zimbabwe’s playing XI for the first ODI against Afghanistan.
