AFG vs ZIM Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips & Playing 11 Updates for 3rd T20I - March 20th, 2021

The third and final T20I between Zimbabwe and Afghanistan is set to take place at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Saturday.

The Afghans have already sealed a series win, courtesy of two complete performances. While Rahmanullah Gurbaz starred in the first T20I, it was more of an all-round performance in the second game, with Zimbabwe proving no match. Although they would want to seal a series whitewash at the expense of Zimbabwe, it won't be that easy.

Zimbabwe have shown glimpses of what they are capable of in the series. While their batsmen have impressed in patches, the bowlers have let them down on both occasions. They will need more from the likes of Ryan Burl and Blessing Muzarabani, who have been the best of the lot.

Although they head into the game as the underdogs, Zimbabwe are capable of springing a surprise, which the Afghans will be wary of. With both teams eyeing a win, albeit for different reasons, a cracking game of cricket beckons at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium on Saturday.
