Cricket Betting Tips and Match Predictions: Afghanistan vs Ireland in UAE- 1st T20I - March 15th 2024

The 1st T20I Match of the 'Afghanistan against Ireland in UAE' will be played between Afghanistan and Ireland on the 15th of March at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah.

Current T20I Form Afghanistan:

Afghanistan are currently placed at the 10th position on ICC Men's T20I Team Rankings with a rating of 218.

Afghanistan are in an ordinary form in T20I cricket currently. They have recently lost a T20I series against Sri Lanka by 2-1 away from home.

Their star player Rashid Khan is returning to the squad for the T20I series.

Players to look out for:

1. Rashid Khan- Afghanistan have surely missed him in the last couple of months as he was missing in action. Khan will play an important role both with ball and the bat as a skipper for Afghanistan in the upcoming matches.

2. Rahmanullah Gurbaz- Gurbaz is in prolific form currently as we saw in the recently concluded ODI series against Ireland. He can inflict a lot of damage with the bat against Ireland in the upcoming T20I's.


Current T20I Form Ireland:

Ireland are currently placed at the 12th position on ICC Men's T20I Team Rankings with a rating of 194.

Ireland are in a fabulous form in T20I cricket. They won a 3 match T20I series against Zimbabwe by 2-1 in December last year and that too away from home.

Players to look out for:

1. Curtis Campher- He is a fine middle order batter who can cope up with the UAE conditions very well. Campher has been amongst the runs in the Tour and should look to continue his form in the upcoming matches.

2. Josh Little - He is a phenomenal strike bowler for Ireland who can change the course of the match by picking up early wickets.


Let’s have a look at the squads:

Afghanistan: Rashid Khan (c), Ibrahim Zadran, Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Sediq Atal, Ijaz Ahmadzai, Ishaq Rahimi (wk), Mohammad Nabi, Nangyal Kharotai, Azmatullah Omarzai, Noor Ahmad, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Wafadar Momand, Farid Malik, Naveen Ul Haq, Fazal Haq Farooqi
