AFG vs IRE, 2nd T20I: Match Prediction, Dream11 Team, Fantasy Tips & Pitch Report | Afghanistan vs Ireland 2024
Afghanistan vs Ireland 2024 - 2nd T20I

Following their triumph over the hosts Afghanistan, Ireland have commenced their quest to secure the 3-match T20I series. A victory on foreign soil would significantly boost the team’s morale ahead of the upcoming T20 World Cup in USA and West Indies.

On the other hand, Afghanistan are determined to shatter Ireland’s aspirations, with Rashid Khan making a notable impact in the previous match after returning from injury, claiming three crucial wickets at an economy rate of 4.75. Afghan fans anticipate another match-winning performance from their skipper and hold high expectations from star all-rounder Azmatullah Omarzai.

Sharjah Cricket Stadium Pitch Report:

The Sharjah Cricket Stadium, known for its compact boundaries, features a pitch that tempts batsmen to go for big hits. Despite the surface’s tendency to be slower, the proximity of the boundaries increases the likelihood of high scores. This distinctive blend often prompts captains to opt for chasing upon winning the toss, aiming to exploit the support spinners can gain from a deteriorating pitch in the later stages of the game. However, it’s worth noting that Ireland emerged victorious in the previous match while defending their total.
