Zimbabwe won the toss and chose to bat, they are unchanged today.

Elton Chigumbura: We have been losing too many wickets upfront so we have to re-assess the situation and we have to know what to put on.

Asghar Stanikzai: It doesn't matter if we bat first or bowl today, the wicket is very good today. Only one change: Karim Sadiq comes in for Samiullah Shenwari

2.52pm This match will again be played on the track where the first two ODIs were played, so expect more bounce today. There are some cracks, not too big, and the ball will kid on. It rained the whole day on Sunday so the pitch has some shine...

Guldakh Baserai: "Make sure that the cat is not there around this time. Afghanistan didn't have good luck with that in the last match."

2.40pm We'll try to bring the toss and team changes to you as soon as we get it. Until then, here's Nikhil Kalro's match preview.

Ahmad Zia Mayar: "Afghanistan need to make one change to strengthen batting line up - pick Javed Ahmadi for Samiullah Shinwai who is out of form "

Abdulwakil Ersh: "yesterday we lost the final match of Football to India and the day before yesterday we lost the cricket match to Zimbabwe as well so to lost in last three days for our country but we are waiting for the victory today against Zim te see smile in afghan people face "

Sohan Pandey: "Hello Vishal Sir, Can you please show your name at its appropriate place?" It's there on my passport, I just checked.

Laiq: "Experience counts that what Masakadza showed last time around, I would think Zim would make some changes specially in their top order" They'll also hope Criag Ervine would be fit.

Jalal Hakim : "Our bowling side has been always consistent, if we(Afghan) could do better today in batting and don't go for wrong shots, surely we can seal the series. In Sha Allah "

muneerzazai: "its beginning for our team they have maintain the same spirit and they have the support of fans from around the world. All the very best Afghanistan for todays match. "

Naseer Mehraban: "Not a fair performance by the Afghan side on Saturday. Afghan team will be looking to win the toss and bat first. Of course not losing wickets in the beginning. Losing early wickets has always lead Afghanistan to defeat. "

2.20pm We have seen as many as 53 wickets fall in the three matches so far, and what better way to set up the fourth ODI between Afghanistan and Zimbabwe today in Sharjah! Afghanistan lead 2-1, as Zimbabwe skittled them for a paltry 58 in only 16.1 overs. Can the Associate nation seal the series today or will the Full Member show why they are a Full Member? Hello and welcome to our coverage of the fourth ODI of the year, this is Vishal Dikshit and I will try to distract you from the action in Cape Town...

ibrahem faizi: "Im so happy which afghanistan wins 2 matchs from full membar team Today insha allh we will win the match"
