They will be looking to make a comeback starting from the upcoming ODI.

Ireland’s impressive feat in the Test match won them the game. They displayed a good batting performance in the game and will be looking to replicate the same in the ODI series. Andrew Balbirnie captains the side, with players like Curtis Campher, Harry Tector, and Lorcan Tucker poised to make significant contributions.

Afghanistan to score over 29.5 runs before 1st dismissal (1.85@Parimatch)

Afghanistan has a good experience in the format. They have a good mix of batters in the team starting from their openers.

In their last ODI series against Sri Lanka, the pair secured 5, 31 & 39 runs before their 1st dismissal in those outings. The batters are conditioned to the conditions at Sharjah. They are expected to score for their 1st wicket in their next game.

Afghanistan vs Ireland Betting Odds

Afghanistan’s confidence will be a bit shaky after a 3-0 ODI series loss against Sri Lanka before coming into this series. In the last ODI, they went in to bat first and secured 266 runs, losing all their wickets. Rahmanullah Gurbaz (48), Rahmat Shah (65) & Azmatullah Omarzai (54) were the top scorers in the game. The rest of the team were dismissed for a cheap score. However, their bowlers faced a huge challenge stopping the Lankans. They leaked a lot of runs, eventually losing the game by 7 wickets. Qais Ahmed picked 2 wickets whereas there were no impressive performances from the other bowlers. Ibrahim Zadran, Hashmatullah Shahidi and Rahmanullah Gurbaz will contribute to the top order whereas Rahmat Shah, Azmatullah Omarzai will strengthen the middle order. Fazalhaq Farooqi has been pretty impressive in white ball format whereas Noor Ahmed will add bowling value to the team.

Ireland went against Zimbabwe in their last ODI game. Irish bowlers were impressive and bowled out ZIM at 197. Graham Hume and Curtis Campher picked 4 wickets each. The batters were also comfortable in chasing the target successfully with 7 wickets remaining. Andy Balbirnie was the top scorer with an unbeaten 82 runs in the game. Curtis Campher also chipped in 40 runs. Balbirnie will give a great batting start to the team with Lorcan Tucker and Harry Tector in the squad. They have phenomenal all-rounders in the team. Graham Hume is a talented bowler in the team and will have the assistance of many other bowlers in the team.
