Mujeeb kept things tight in the powerplay, Abdollah’s bounce and pace broke the middle order, and Rashid finished the job with a masterful spell that left Zimbabwe in trouble.

ZIM vs AFG 2025 2nd T20I – Rashid is Back, Zimbabwe’s Scoring Drought Will Come?

We said that Afghanistan had a strong chance to take the first game, and that prediction went beyond just rankings or recent form. The real difference lies in the key players, and none bigger than Rashid Khan. His return brings the spark back to Afghanistan’s bowling unit. With rest and focus, Rashid is ready to use his variation and sharp turns to trouble Zimbabwe once again on Harare’s surface. Zimbabwe’s young top order must start quickly, because once the middle order comes under pressure, the fall of wickets could arrive in a rush.

ZIM vs AFG – Zimbabwe’s Generation Issue

It seems unlikely for Zimbabwe to turn things around in the second game or the series without something dramatic. Their captain, now 39 and a half, has not looked as steady as before. After a golden duck in the recent Namibia final, his numbers still show balance with a 25 batting average and 6.84 economy, yet the decline is clear with only 74 runs and 4 wickets in last five matches. Sean Williams, also 39, remains rested for workload and uncertain for this series. His return can help younger players like Brian Bennett, one of Zimbabwe’s few rising all-rounders. Got four of the oldest active players in world cricket, Zimbabwe’s aging lineup is becoming a serious concern for the future.

ZIM vs AFG – Afghanistan’s Deadly Spins

To understand Rashid Khan’s value, just look at the numbers. He has taken 32 wickets against Zimbabwe, the most by any player in this matchup. The next best has only 14, and even doubling that would not reach Rashid’s tally. His control and wicket-taking impact in the middle overs are unmatched, and his economy rate remains the lowest of all. Alongside him, Noor Ahmad’s left-arm wrist spin adds another layer of mystery, while Fareed Ahmad’s pace at the start keeps batters guessing. Afghanistan’s mix of tricky spin and quick seam bowling makes them one of the hardest sides to score freely against in Harare conditions.

ZIM vs AFG – Open Up the Match History, the Answer is too Obvious

The head-to-head record between these two teams says everything. Afghanistan have lost only two T20Is to Zimbabwe and have never lost a series. Even the close matches show their composure, including wins with just 3 balls and 0 balls left on the clock. Zimbabwe’s struggles in pressure moments continue, especially against Afghanistan’s disciplined attack. Despite being only one spot apart in ICC rankings, the real gap on the field feels far greater. With their spin attack in top rhythm and confidence restored, Afghanistan look ready to seal the second game in motion.

About the Stadium: 

When match day arrives in Harare, tactics begin even before the toss. Captains pace the boundary, studying the wind that cuts across the city and the shade of the grass at each end. Seamers check their run ups for soft spots, spinners watch how dust gathers near the crease. Teams that read these subtle signs early often command the day. The first session usually dictates tone, with disciplined bowling, calm batting, and clever field placement deciding the rhythm long before the crowd senses it.

As the sun drops over the skyline, the stadium breathes differently. Music grows louder, chants roll through the stands, and every boundary brings a surge of unity. Visiting sides speak of this atmosphere with admiration, how friendly smiles turn competitive once the game tightens. The crowd’s love for the sport runs deeper than results, it celebrates grit, good play, and heart. When stumps are drawn, the light fades behind the pavilion, and Harare returns to calm, carrying another chapter of its quiet cricket legacy.
