ZIM vs AFG Dream11 Prediction for First T20I Match in the 2025 Afghanistan Tour of Zimbabwe
The upcoming T20I series between Zimbabwe and Afghanistan will commence on October 29, 2025. The first match is set for Harare Sports Club, Harare, starting at 5:00 PM IST.
ZIM vs AFG Match Preview
Zimbabwe aims to continue its recent momentum after securing a win in a one-off Test against Afghanistan. Historically, Zimbabwe has struggled in T20I matches against Afghanistan, winning only 2 of their 18 encounters. In 2025, Zimbabwe has shown form, claiming 9 out of 16 T20I victories this year and confirming their place in next year’s T20 World Cup.
On the other side, Afghanistan is eager to improve their performance in T20Is. They struggled during the Asia Cup, failing to advance beyond the group stages, and recently faced a 3-0 loss in ODIs to Bangladesh. Afghanistan’s recent record in T20Is against Zimbabwe gives them confidence, despite losing the recent Test match.
