Afghanistan play Zimbabwe in a 5 match ODI series and a 2 match T20I series.

When Afghanistan toured Zimbabwe in October, they won the ODIs 3-2 and T20Is 2-0.

First ODI starts on Christmas Day.

I thought I read on here that they were going to play in India. These are still in UAE. It felt a bit unlikely.

They will play at Greater Noida in the future but the ground hasn't been fully built yet. Probably not up to ICC standards at the moment.

Very well fought victory for Afganistan. Should have been a cake walk for Zimbabwe.

Shazd playing an absolute blinder to edge Afghanistan towards a 2-0 lead.

Interestingly poised now a couple of wickets have gone down. A really challenging total, so it'll be impressive if Afg make it.

Afghanistan win! Chased down 254. Shahzad made an unbeaten 131!

Afghanistan are a seriously good side now. Their top 10 ranking is well deserved.

Very impressive. Shahzad makes up for narrowly missing out on being my nomination for Associate player of the year...

It's a pity they're not playing an unofficial Test in this series....

Mazakadza rescues the team with 83, but is last man out as Zimbabwe are all out for 175.
