If Afghanistan 545 runs by losing only 4 wickets, I think the Zimbabwean team has the capacity to score at least 400 runs. There is no possibility of this match being a draw. At the moment the match is completely occupied by Afghanistan. Unless a miracle happens, Afghanistan will win the match today.
It depends on how the Zimbabwe players play Rashid Khan and the match is played in the UAE which helps the spinners in the final two days and it is going to be a huge task as Zimbabwe still trail by 234 runs and it is going to be a huge task to take a lead and with plenty of time left in the match it is a game for Afghanistan to win and level the series.

ZIM is trailing by 229 they have not lost any wicket in this session but their chance of winning this test looks very bleak. It is Day 4 and as the match progresses I do not think it will be an easy task for ZIM to avert a defeat. Google probability score also shows Afganisthan has more probability to win this test.
Zimbabwe scored 44 runs without losing a wicket. Kevin Kasuza and Prince Masvaure are batting with great confidence. If the two of them can form a partnership of more than 100 runs, then Zimbabwe will be able to have a good fight against Afghanistan. But if they lose the opening wicket quickly, it will not be happy for Zimbabwe.

Edit : Zimbabwe lost the wicket of Prince Masuvaure. He has collected only 15 runs. His strike night was 20.26. If his innings had been longer, Zimbabwe would have been able to collect a big total.

Zimbabwe is in deep trouble now, they have already lost 7 wickets and it is a completely one-sided match. Great cricket by Afganistan, they not only batted well they have also bowled well. When Zimbabwe started to bat today I was under the impression that they might pull through but great bowling by Rashid Khan, he himself claimed 5 wickets out of 7.
Zimbabwe formed a huge partnership of 122 runs in the seventh wicket partnership. Sean Williams is unbeaten on 106 and Donald Tripano is unbeaten on 63 runs. The match is likely to be drawn if Zimbabwe can score more than 120 runs in the first season. The match is still completely under the control of Afghanistan. The match is likely to be drawn if Zimbabwe are able to play well in the first session of the next day.

Afghanistan made a good comeback in this series as they lost badly the first test and now mostly will win this test match. Brilliant first innings batting by Shahidi and Asghar just dint allowed the Zimbabwe to make a comeback in the game. Thought Zimbabwe would atleast be better and situation would not arise of follow on.
