The Chevrons have managed to win just 2 of the 18 T20Is against Afghanistan and will be desperate for a better result in the upcoming series. They have done well in the T20Is this year. Zimbabwe have won 9 of the 16 T20Is in 2025 and recently sealed their spot in next year’s T20 World Cup.

On the other hand, Afghanistan will be desperate for a better performance in the T20Is after a string of poor results in recent times. They had a disastrous campaign in this year’s Asia Cup, where they failed to progress ahead of the group stage.
It was followed by a 3-0 loss in ODIs against Bangladesh before they won the T20I series. Afghanistan also lost the one-off Test against Zimbabwe and will be eyeing a better outing in T20Is. Afghanistan have dominated Zimbabwe in T20Is so far and will be taking confidence from their past performances.
ZIM vs AFG Head-to-Head Record:
Afghanistan have completely dominated this rivalry so far. Out of the 18 T20Is between the two teams so far, Afghanistan have won 16 while Zimbabwe have managed to win just 2.
