Afghanistan Team News & Playing 11
Their top-order batting relies mainly on Mohammad Shahzad and Rahmat Shah who seems to be in a very good form with scores of 114 and 43 in the respective two ODIs. Mohammad Nabi scored 31 in the last game and he will be crucial for Afghanistan not only with the bat but also with the ball. Rashid Khan has been outstanding so far with six wickets in two games. He and Nabi are the main weapons in this bowling attack and the hosts will want them to bowl well in tandem.

Zimbabwe Team News & Playing 11
Brendan Taylor (125 runs off 121 balls) and Sikandar Raza (92 runs off 74 balls) powered Zimbabwe to a match-winning total of 333 in the second ODI. While the visitors will expect these two batsmen to carry that form into this game, they will also be relieved to see Hamilton Masakadza (48) back amongst the runs. Skipper Graeme Cremer is having a fantastic series with seven wickets in two matches. He together with Tendai Chatara who notched up three wickets last time will be the major threats for Afghanistan.

Afghanistan vs Zimbabwe 3rd ODI Prediction
Zimbabwe will go into this game with a lot more self-belief after recording a colossal victory over Afghanistan in the second ODI. They completely outclassed their opponents in all departments of the game and will look to capitalize on the momentum they have gained. The hosts, on the other hand, will hope that it was just a blip and they will look to come out with all their guns blazing on Tuesday. Although a few of their weaknesses were exposed in the last game, we expect Afghanistan to come better prepared this time and bounce back in the series.
Final Verdict: Back Afghanistan to beat Zimbabwe at 1.44 on Betfair, 1.36 on Bet365, 1.35 on Unibet and 1.40 on Betway.
