The venue, Pitch Report, and Toss Prediction:
The second Test match between Zimbabwe and Afghanistan will begin on Wednesday at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium.
A good bowling wicket summons at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium. The speedsters had the ball moving in the previous game. But this time around, the spin bowlers should have more of a tell in the match proceedings. Despite the situations assisting the bowlers, the batters will get a price for their shots. Nevertheless, they will need to stay their time in the middle and push in. Although both sides would like to avoid batting in the final phase, the toss shouldn’t make much of a discrepancy for either team. Hence, we reckon that batting first on winning the toss will be the ideal choice.

Rashid Khan, who will be making a comeback, should prove vital in redemption. His contribution should bring in positives for the team. The skipper, along with Rashid and Sikandar Raza, will be the men to watch out for.
