The second T20I between Zimbabwe and Afghanistan is set to take place at the Harare Sports Club, the same venue as the first match, on Friday (December 13).
In the opening game, Zimbabwe secured a 4-wicket victory, taking a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. The win was powered by an exceptional bowling display from Richard Ngarava and a stellar batting performance by Brian Bennett, who was named Player of the Match. With this upcoming game, Zimbabwe will aim to clinch the series, but Afghanistan, a team known for its resilience, will be determined to stage a strong comeback.

Harare Sports Club Pitch Report:
The Harare Sports Club in Zimbabwe offers a well-balanced pitch that caters to both batters and bowlers. On sunny days, the wicket dries rapidly, creating favourable conditions for batters to score heavily early in the match. As the game advances, the surface begins to aid spinners, boosting their impact. Conversely, overcast conditions tilt the advantage towards seam bowlers, as the added moisture in the air and on the pitch enhances ball movement, posing considerable difficulties for batters
