Dream11 fantasy cricket tips and guide for the 1st ODI of Afghanistan’s tour of Zimbabwe 2024, to be played between ZIM vs AFG in Harare.

After a pretty close T20I series, Zimbabwe and Afghanistan will face each other in a three-match ODI series. After winning the T20I series 2-1, Afghanistan will take that confidence into the coming games.

Zimbabwe and Afghanistan will come up against each other in the first T20I, which is scheduled to take place on Tuesday afternoon at 1 PM IST at Harare Sports Club.

Captain Hashmatullah Shahidi will be back in ODIs and will lead Afghanistan while Craig Ervine will be leading the hosts. But, all the eyes will be on England all-rounder Sam Curran’s brother, Ben, who will be looking to make his debut for Zimbabwe.

ZIM vs AFG: Pitch Report

As seen in the T20I series, all three matches were low-scoring. It was because of the nature of this surface in Harare. It is a sluggish wicket that tends to slow down as the game progresses. The spinners and slow bowlers will be more effective on this surface. Adding to that, the overcast conditions might bring in more help for the pacers because of the moisture on the pitch.
