Ireland now leads Afghanistan 2-0 in the one-day international series and has a chance to win it. Afghanistan had its moments in the game, but it was never good enough with the ball or the bat. In terms of betting, we have backed the underdog in last matches so far and have reaped the benefits.
Match Preview
The skies over Belfast would be clear on the match day. The wicket is expected to be flat and good for batting, as evidenced by recent games played here. The bowlers would get some help in the early overs of the game. The batting team’s goal would be to score 170 runs. Both games were won by teams that chased the score. The two captains will keep this in mind, and the team that wins the toss will most likely choose to bowl first.
Team Preview
Ireland’s bowlers performed admirably, and they never let Afghanistan off the hook. That bowling performance would have instilled a lot of confidence in Ireland, and we are rooting for them to maintain their stranglehold on Afghanistan. Andrew Balbirnie has found form at an important time for Ireland, and he has been scoring runs at an alarming rate. In the current situation, Harry Tector, George Dockrell, and Curtis Camphor form a batting unit that is significantly better than Afghanistan’s.
Mohammad Nabi’s team would have to fight hard to stay in the series. With their faces pressed against the wall, the Afghan captain wants to see a determined performance from his players. Rahmanullah Gurbaz, who opens with Usman Ghani, will need to play a solid hand up the order. Both of these players were taken out cheaply in the previous game. Hashmatullah Shahidi, who plays at No. 3, needs to improve his scoring rate and form partnerships with Ibrahim Zadran and Najibullah Zadran.
