Pitch Report: Today with the weather around, we are looking at a full 100-over game. There are some cracks and they run on the length of the pitch. Little bit of green on the surface. I think with the dryness underneath, I still feel it's a good batting wicket. Win the toss and look to bowl is the way to go on this surface.

Teams:

Zimbabwe (Playing XI): Ben Curran, Tadiwanashe Marumani(w), Brian Bennett, Dion Myers, Craig Ervine(c), Sean Williams, Sikandar Raza, Newman Nyamhuri, Richard Ngarava, Tinotenda Maposa, Trevor Gwandu

Zimbabwe have won the toss and have opted to field

8:30 Local Time, 06:30 GMT, 12:00 IST: The first game of this 3-match ODI series was a washout due to rain. Only 9.2 overs of play was possible in that game. Omarzai produced an exhibition of swing and seam bowling under overcast conditions and stole the limelight with a 4-fer. Rain came to the rescue of Zimbabwe as they were reeling at 44/5 and after that, no more play was possible. Today, blue skies are expected to greet us at Harare and the weather forecast is good throughout the day. Afghanistan bounced back in style to clinch the T20I series against Zimbabwe by a 2-1 margin after trailing 1-0 initially. The visitors will be brimming with confidence and will be eager to continue their winning streak against the hosts. Talking about Zimbabwe, the batting has been a letdown for them of late and they will want to improve on that front. Both teams have a good blend of experience and youth. Expect a cracker! Toss and team lineups will be announced in a while...
