I feel they'll invite Zimbabwe over to the North of India for a Test or two, as they'll fancy their chances

Hmm, that's one way to get Zim play tests in India again.

If they play in Bengaluru though, I'm sure Zim will have the upper hand. This is almost playing like the typical Harare pitch (may be with a bit more turn). Disciplined pacers like Jarvis and Chatara would love to bowl on this deck. But yeah, most pitches Afg has used in North India might be heavily spin friendly and could be curtains for Zim.

Rashid and co finding Test cricket a bit harder than the t20 stuff.

What's the pitch like ??

Pitch has been turning. Rashid in particular was getting his googly to really turn sharply.

Afghanistan have done a decent job of pulling this back

They'll learn a lot from this if they continue to play more Tests.
