Previously, Zimbabwe faced Afghanistan in seven T20Is and lost all of them.
Unlike the tournament opener, there was no rain before the game today. So, the wicket of this match might be helpful for the batsmen.
In the first game of the event, Zimbabwe endured a defeat to hosts Bangladesh. They batted first in the match and posted 144 runs. Bangladesh chased it down with three wickets in hand riding on a resounding fifty of Afif Hossain.
