Sharjah Cricket Stadium

Afghanistan and Ireland will clash in the third ODI of the current series between the teams. The match will take place at Sharjah Cricket Stadium on March 12. The match will commence from 5:00 PM IST.

Afghanistan vs Ireland Chance of Winning

After a defeat in the only Test against Ireland, Afghanistan made quite a return in the white-ball format. Afghanistan won the 1st ODI of the series and currently lead the series by 1-0. The pressure will now be on the Irish side, and they must put the loss behind them and put up a strong performance in the game.

The Irish side has a poor record against the Afghans. They lost the first ODI and are behind 0-1 in the current series. The second ODI was abandoned and did not yield any result. Their bowling attack is weak, making the task tough for the team. The Afghans have their top order in good form and a good record at this venue. We expect a close contest in this game. Andrew Balbirnie captains the side, with players like Curtis Campher, Harry Tector, and Lorcan Tucker poised to make significant contributions.

Afghanistan's chance of winning: 69%

Ireland' chance of winning: 31%

Afghanistan vs Ireland Betting Tips

Afghanistan to score over 31.5 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. Ibrahim Zadran and Rahmanullah Gurbaz have been the team’s batting pillars and average at 48.89 & 37.26 in their respective ODI careers. 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 used to the conditions at Sharjah. In the first ODI of the series, the pair scored 150 runs for their opening partnership. Gurbaz scored 121 whereas Zadran smashed 60 runs in the game. That said, they are expected to score over 31 runs for their 1st wicket in the next game.

Afghanistan vs Ireland Toss Prediction

The wicket prepared at Sharjah is expected to offer help to the spinners. With short boundaries on both the sides, the batsmen will be looking to score runs on this surface. Both the sides will be keen to win the toss, bowl first and restrict the opposition to a low score. The previous couple of matches played at Sharjah have been won by side batting second.

Weather Report

It will be great weather over Sharjah, but the heat and humidity will test the players. The track will be a good one to bat on where the ball will come to the bat.

Predicted Playing XI

Afghanistan vs Ireland Betting Odds

Afghanistan secured a 35-run victory over Ireland in the first ODI, thanks to Rahmanullah Gurbaz's remarkable 121-run innings, supported by Ibrahim Zadran's 60 runs. Captain Hashmatullah Shahidi's unbeaten 50 helped Afghanistan set a formidable total of 310/5. Despite a valiant effort from Harry Tector (138) and Lorcan Tucker (85), Ireland fell short in their chase. Afghanistan's bowlers dominated, restricting Ireland's batsmen throughout.

In the upcoming matches, Shahidi's squad aims to clinch the series with consistent performances. Their batting lineup, led by Gurbaz and Zadran, seeks to replicate their formidable opening partnership. With experienced players like Mohammad Nabi and Rahmat Shah in the middle order, Afghanistan aims for a strong finish. Their bowling attack, spearheaded by Fazalhaq Farooqi and Azmatullah Omarzai, will look for early breakthroughs.

Meanwhile, Paul Stirling's Irish team faces pressure to bounce back after their disappointing performance. They rely on senior players like Andrew Balbirnie and Stirling himself to lead the batting charge. Tector's confidence from his previous century adds depth to the middle order alongside Curtis Campher and Tucker. Dockrell and Adair must step up in the lower middle order. The bowling unit, led by Adair and Hume, needs to tighten up to challenge Afghanistan effectively.
