The third and final ODI of the series between Zimbabwe (ZIM) and Afghanistan (AFG) will be played at the Harare Sports Club in Harare on December 21, 2024.
While the first game of the series was washed out due to persistent rain after only 9.2 overs could be bowled, the second one played out to its entirety.
Zimbabwe’s batting lineup could not resist the wrath of the Afghani bowling in the second game though. After registering a competitive 286 on the board, the hosts were bundled out for just 54.
