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.

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.
