Can we get our first T20I win against the Afghans?

Hoping Hami breaks out T20 ton drought!

Probably first series victory for Zimbabwe against Afghanistan is going to come in odis.

Zimbabwe needs to capture Afghanistan's negetive mentality of playing hard hitting cricket, that cost them series against Ireland, as per their ex coach Lal Chand Rajput, very few of them has the mentality to play innings building knocks, Zimbabwe needs to cash on this motive.

Flaccid wicket in UAE, cutters and slowers are important in first phase of the innings, bowlers will get swing at night.

I think Afghanistan will absolutely hump us in the T20's due to their depth in spin bowling.

In the ODI's I reckon it'll be a totally different scenario. I'm hoping Jarvis can get Shazad early; he's a serious talent. People call him a fat slogger but his stats are phenomenal, and we all remember what he did to Dale Steyn in the World T20 a few years ago.

Get him early, and it'll take the wind out of their sales without a doubt.

I want us to be nasty as well. Really in their face just like they will be with us. Should be a great little tour this
