Afghanistan Team News & Playing 11
Twin fifties from Rahmat Shah and Nasir Jamal steered Afghanistan to a comfortable win in the third ODI. The former is leading the runs charts with one hundred and one fifty at an average of 71 and the team will look to this in-form batsman to deliver another good performance in the next game. Rashid Khan took a five-fer and played the leading role in demolishing Zimbabwe in the last match. The leg-spinner has taken 11 wickets in the series and he is likely to run through the visitors once again.

Zimbabwe Team News & Playing 11
They will hope that Hamilton Masakadza, Sikandar Raza, Brendan Taylor and Craig Ervine come up good with the bat in Friday's crucial encounter. Raza is averaging 51.66 and has scored the most runs for Zimbabwe in this series, making him the key man in this batting line-up. When it comes to bowling, the visitors will turn to their most reliable bowlers - Tendai Chatara and Graeme Cremer - to pick up wickets. Both have taken five and eight wickets respectively in the series and the hosts may not take too many risks against them.

Their betting odds have shortened up even more after their thumping victory in the last game. Zimbabwe on the other hand have plenty to think about ahead of this match.

Afghanistan vs Zimbabwe 4th ODI Prediction
This is a must-win scenario for Zimbabwe as Afghanistan have a 2-1 lead in the series with two more games to play. So it is obvious that the visitors will be feeling a lot more pressure and more often than not even the best of teams can crumble under pressure. The Zimbabwean batsmen have found it very difficult to read the legbreaks of Rashid Khan and we don't expect this problem of theirs to resolve anytime soon. We therefore predict the hosts to emerge victorious in this match and take an unassailable 3-1 lead in the series.
Final Verdict: Back Afghanistan to beat Zimbabwe at 1.40 on 1xbet, 1.30 on Bet365, 1.32 on Unibet, 1.33 on 10Cric and 1.36 on Betway.
