Nothing will change, first of all until the qualifiers ZC won't even be bothered about the results.
Afghanistan are only coming because they see 30 WSL points given to them on the plate. They will most likely beat Zim 6-0 or 5-1.
ZC will surely set up some warm up games against USA or PNG and then Zimbabwe will qualify for T20 WC. ZC will boast of all these fixtures as a learning experience which helped the team qualify. In a 16 team WC that's no big deal actually.
This will follow some big defeats against Bangladesh, India and Australia, with probably an odd win here and there.. And in T20 WC zimbabwe may punch above their weight and make it to Super 12s, that can happen as Zim on a given day can beat Ireland, UAE or Scotland.
ZC will be overjoyed and they will show this as a huge achievement.
Then next year Zim will obviously fail to qualify for 50over WC (this time it won't even be close like last time it was just 1 win away that too against an associate) and we all will be here discussing the problems.
