The first Test between Afghanistan and Zimbabwe begins at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi on the 2nd of March, 2021.

Afghanistan are finally back in Test action once again. Although they are still taking baby steps in the red-ball format, they are truly a force to reckon with on the international scene. With the likes of Zahir Khan and Ashgar Afghan leading the pack, the Afghans are the clear favourites heading into this fixture.

Their opponents, Zimbabwe, have a decent unit as well with a good blend of youth and experience. Although Craig Ervine isn't available for Zimbabwe, they have the duo of Sikandar Raza and captain Sean Williams to fall back on.

As mentioned above, Afghanistan are expected to make light work of their opponents. Although they are the definite underdogs heading into the contest, Zimbabwe will look to put up a fight in what should be a cracking game of Test cricket in Abu Dhabi.

Pitch Report

A competitive game of cricket beckons at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, with some help on offer for both the pacers and spinners. While the pacers should get the ball to move around in the opening exchanges, the spinners will come into play as the match progresses.

The batsmen will have to dig in and apply themselves before trusting their attacking instincts. Both teams will look to bat first and post a mammoth total upon winning the toss.
