Afghanistan On a Roll, as Zimbabwe fighting to Make It

               Group B is all set for an Knockout game, with Scotland and Hong Kong being knocked out after losing their both encounters against Afghanistan and Zimbabwe respectively. Now it's all cleared for the decider at Nagpur in the Group B, as Zimbabwe face on Afghanistan.
               Zimbabwe so far struggled early on with the bat, they fought hard to make it over the line at the  end. Although Bowling unit showed some sort of character to defend a par score against Scotland, with added good effort in the field.
               Afghanistan Meanwhile showed positive intent with the bat and their bowlers pulled it at the back against Scotland. It looked all easy for them against Hong Kong both with the bat and with the ball too.
               The pitch at Nagpur is on slower side as it is known for, playing and bowling spin will be a deciding factor in the decider. It's not gonna be easy to bat second with slowing of the pitch.
                So far Zimbabwe asn't won a T20 against Afghanistan, they have to change the stats to make in to the super 10 stage. While Afghanistan would be quite happy with the way things have gone so far, another good show will make their first appearance in the second round.
               Meanwhile Zimbabwe may consider to strengthen their batting more, as Afghanistan look for an unchanged playing XI . Once again the inconsistency of Zimbabwean batting will tested and it is the area to watch out for in determining the result at the decider.
