Brilliantly tied at 2-2 is the T20 series between Ireland and Afghanistan in 2022. Afghanistan won the following two games, while Ireland won the first two. In cricket, if there is such a thing as momentum, it now favours Afghanistan.
Match Preview
There will be a 60% probability of rain in a partly cloudy sky. The pitch helps pacers by providing some early bounce. But in the second inning, it tilts to aid the spinners. Overall, it’s a bowlers’ paradise where low-scoring games are expected. Teams have successfully chased the target 16 times in 29 T20Is. The team that bats first has successfully protected the objective 12 times. Even the team batting second has won three times in the last five games. The toss winner should take the field first.
Team Preview
The failure to win at least one of its previous two games would disappoint Ireland. In both games, it was in a winning position but failed to complete the task. So far, George Dockrell , Andrew Balbirnie, and Lorcan Tucker have been Ireland’s top three batters. With Tector still having room to develop, Ireland’s batting has become stronger and more diverse. Ireland has produced three of the top four run scorers in the series, which is also encouraging. In terms of bowling statistics, Delany and Little have been in the lead, but there really isn’t a standout.
Afghanistan’s batting performance has improved from what we saw in the previous two games, but there is still much work to be done. Rahmanullah Gurbaz had some form, but Najibullah Zadran took the lead. Although Hashmatullah Shahidi, Rashid Khan, and Usman Ghani have all helped Afghanistan out of a jam, it won’t always be that way. We continue to believe that Afghanistan’s batting order is really weak. Afghanistan’s bowling assault is much more evenly matched.
