Pitch Report
The Harare Sports Club pitch is a balanced wicket which aids spinners more than the pacers. The batters might feel the ball is sticking to the deck before coming onto the bat. Speedsters who can take the pace out of the ball will draw good results on this deck. Hence given that Afghanistan have a world-class spin bowling unit, they will likely have an upper hand over the hosts in the upcoming first ODI game.

Nonetheless, Sikandar Raza’s team faced defeat in the following game, creating an exhilarating decider in Harare. On December 14, it is essential for captain Raza to showcase his all-round abilities against Afghanistan to lead his team by example.
