Toss update:
Zimbabwe won the toss and chose to bat on a hard, brown grass track in the first of three Twenty20 internationals against Afghanistan on Saturday at Harare Sports Club.
The T20 series is the second half of a white-ball tour by the Afghans, who won all three one-day internationals (ODI) at the same venue.
ODI captain Craig Ervine will continue to lead Zimbabwe while Mohammad Nabi takes over as Afghanistan skipper from Hashmatullah Shahidi, who led the tourists in the 50-over internationals.
Afghanistan have won four and lost one of the last five T20 matches against Zimbabwe, stretching back to September 2019.
