Zimbabwe vs Afghanistan Live Streaming: Zimbabwe will take on Afghanistan in a one-off Test match that starts on October 20 at the Harare Sports Club.
Zimbabwe vs Afghanistan Live Streaming: Match Preview
Craig Ervine’s team will seek to rebound in the red-ball format from a disappointing series loss against New Zealand in August, when they were thoroughly defeated 2-0. The last red-ball victory for Zimbabwe was in early 2023, and the team will be keen to regain pride in home conditions.
In contrast, Afghanistan, captained by Hashmatullah Shahidi, approach this encounter with confidence. They just thrashed Bangladesh in the ODI series and have performed consistently across all formats. Afghanistan’s previous Test outing was against Zimbabwe as well, and they won by 72 runs to take the series 1-0.
In what is likely to be spin-friendly conditions in Harare, the battle between Sikandar Raza’s experience and Rashid Khan’s guile may determine the outcome.

Zimbabwe vs Afghanistan Live Streaming: Match Prediction
Afghanistan enter as the favorites, owing to their superior recent Test form and all-round squad depth. Their spin duo could pose serious challenges on a dry Harare track. However, Zimbabwe’s familiarity with home conditions and the presence of experienced campaigners like Raza and Ervine ensure they can’t be written off.
Prediction: Afghanistan to win the one-off Test, but expect a hard-fought contest with Zimbabwe showing flashes of resistance.
