Zimbabwe vs Afghanistan ODI head-to-headIn this format, the Afghans have a superior advantage. Afghanistan have won 18 of the 28 ODIs that they have played against the African side. Zimbabwe have registered 18 victories so far.
Defending champions India will now face off against China, who beat Pakistan in the first semi-final.
Earlier in the match, a raucous crowd gave the Chinese players full support as they faced a formidable Pakistan. The game started slow with both teams struggling to find space in each other's defence. However, China kept control of the ball and made more attacks than Pakistan.
The last time these two sides met in the 50-over format, Afghanistan secured a 3-0 ODI series whitewash over Zimbabwe in a three-match series in Harare in June 2022.
