| Zimbabwe National Cricket Team vs Afghanistan National Cricket Team Timeline |
Zimbabwe stunned Afghanistan in the first T20I, defeating them by four wickets. The visitors had momentum coming in to the series, especially after doing well in the T20 World Cup 2024 and winning back-to-back white-ball series against South Africa and Bangladesh. However, the Chevrons were prepared on their home turf and got the job done in the final ball of the match.
There were plenty of positives for the Sikandar Raza-led side as opener Brian Bennett scored some crucial runs and Tashinga Musekiwa played a match-winning, unbeaten cameo of 16 runs in the end. Among the bowlers, Richard Ngarava was highly impressive, picking up a three-wicket haul. On the other hand, Karim Janat did well for Afghanistan in the first innings, scoring an unbeaten 54. The spinners tried to choke Zimbabwe in the second innings but there was a lack of support from the pacers, particularly Naveen-ul-Haq, who at one point bowled 13 deliveries in an over.(More Sports News)
