Sharjah to Host Deciding Test Between Afghanistan and Zimbabwe

Both teams must find ways to take 20 wickets on a pitch that favours batters if either side is to win the two-match series decider.

Overview

The second and final Test begins on Friday, November 13, at Sharjah Cricket Stadium with the series level after the opening match ended in a draw.
The first Test produced an unusually high aggregate score and seven centuries, with both sides posting huge totals that exposed weaknesses in the bowling attacks.
Squads and predicted XIs show continuity, with leading batters retained and selectors considering whether to swap batting depth for an extra bowler.
Previews expect another batting-friendly surface but say spinners could gain traction as the pitch wears, making improved plans from pace and spin bowlers essential to force a result.
Live access differs by region: FanCode will stream the Test in India and the match will not be on Indian TV, while broadcasters such as Willow TV and Ariana TV will carry coverage in other markets.
