Preview :

Afghanistan would look to complete a 3-0 clean sweep over Zimbabwe as the two teams lock horns in 3rd and final ODI of the series. Here's our Dream11 prediction for ZIM vs AFG match today. With the clean sweep in mind, Afghanistan take on Zimbabwe in the third and final ODI of the 3-match series. The Afghans have clearly been better in the two matches, achieving the desired results without breaking much sweat.

Zimbabwe batted first in the previous match and for a while, it seemed as if it could get to a defendable total. Most of its batters got a start including Innocent Kaia, Craig Ervine, Sikandar Raza, and Ryan Burl. None of them could really turn it into a big one, though, and that is where Zimbabwe ended up losing the match. The batting order or the players that have been chosen for Zimbabwe seem good enough but the problem is in the execution. They all need to buckle down and find a way to get the runs on the board. Zimbabwe's bowling has been found out against Afghanistan two matches in a row. Take Blessing Muzarabani away and this Zimbabwe bowling attack is quite pedestrian. Gone are the days when part-timers could come in and tie down the Afghan batters.

Afghanistan has dominated every aspect of this series so far. Its bowling was always expected to be difficult for the Zimbabwe batters to face but the manner in which the Afghan batters have played is the big surprise. Rahmat Shah has shown once more why he is regarded as the best ODI batter in Afghanistan. He scored 88 in the previous match and went about his job quietly as Ibrahim Zadran smashed a brilliant century. With Hashmatullah Shahidi, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Mohammad Nabi, and even Rashid Khan in the lineup, Afghanistan has more than enough depth in the batting to fight back even if it loses a few early wickets. Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi picked up two wickets each in the previous match while Fareed Ahmed picked up three. The number of options available for Afghanistan is quite brilliant and we don't see Afghanistan letting go of this advantage in the bowling department over Zimbabwe anytime soon.
