ZIM vs AFG 2025 2nd Test: Match Prediction, Dream11 Team, Fantasy Cricket Tips & Pitch Report
After an exemplary batting display in the first Test which eventually resulted in a draw, Zimbabwe and Afghanistan they meet in the last test match of the series.
Zimbabwe began this series on the back of a crushing defeat to the Afghans in the ODI series. The home team will therefore look forward to some kind of challenge and build on the batting skills they showed in the 1st Test. On the other hand, the visiting team managed to draw the 1st clash against all odds thanks to the great shots of the captain Hashmatullah Shahidi and Rahmat Shah. The Afghan side will look to defeat the Zimbabweans and end their tour of the African country with their heads held high.

Queens Sports Club Field Report
The pitch at Queens Sports Club is expected to be a batting paradise like in the previous Test. However, due to the recent rain and moisture in the atmosphere, there is some help for bowlers from the field, especially as the match progresses towards the 4th and 5th days. Teams are likely to bat first after winning the toss and take maximum advantage of the favorable batting conditions.
