Zimbabwe are set to once again host Afghanistan in the 2nd ODI of the ODI series between the two teams, at the Harare Sports Club in Zimbabwe. The tourists, Afghanistan have gone one up in the series after their win in the previous match of the series. The hosts Zimbabwe, on the other hand, were clearly dominated by Afghanistan in the 1st ODI as their batting line-up collapsed and they couldn’t chase a very reachable target. This will be a crucial match for both the teams as it’s a series decider for both the teams and a loss in this match will cost the series to Zimbabwe. Afghanistan will be relying on their star performers in the previous match to bring home the series for them.
