Zimbabwe have won the toss and have opted to bat
This has been a successful tour for Afghanistan so far - lost the opening T20I, came back to seal the series and then dominated proceedings in the ODIs. Zimbabwe seem to have a stronger pace bowling attack and it'll be interesting to see if Afghanistan back their spinners to deliver the goods. The forecast suggests rain on all five days, let's hope that it doesn't play spoilsport. Stay tuned, we'll keep you updated.
