Afghanistan had proved that they are a better side than Zimbabwe in every format of cricket. They had a clean sweep in the ODI series and also had won the first T20 match with a handsome margin of six wickets. On the other hand, Zimbabwe had failed to give the best performance in this home series against Afghanistan. They had the final chance to save the T20 series after losing the ODI series but for that, they have to win this match at any cost.
