Afghanistan vs Ireland 2nd T20I Match Preview: Ireland shocked the Afghanistan team with their amazing bowling performance in the last match and won the match by 38 runs. Afghanistan will be looking to win their 2nd T20I match that will be played on March 17, 2024.0

Afghanistan’s captain made a mistake by batting second on a used pitch by Sharjah, which is slow and spin-friendly. It made them pay the price as the Ireland bowler pitched pretty well to bowl out the Afghanistan team on just 111 runs and won the match by 38 runs even when they only gave them the target of 150.

A superb all-round performance puts us ahead in the three-match T20I series with a 38-run win. Tector's half-century (56*) and White's best T20I figures (4-20) were the standouts but everyone played their part.

The next match will be played on the same ground, and more spinners will be coming in the team for both teams. In the last match, spinners did quite well, but pacers who can vary their speed were also successful in the last match.

In the last match, the pitch had lots of turns, and it was hard to play the shot in the second innings as the ball got more grip from the surface. The pitch is going to be a slow one, so expect a low-scoring match, but if they decide to use the fresh pitch, then there will be a lot of runs, too, because of the small dimension of the ground.

Team Preview Of Afghanistan

Afghanistan will look to make a comeback and might change some of their players in the next match. There is a high chance that Noor Ahmed will come to come into the team to replace Naveen-ul-Haq, who was super expensive in the last match, and there is also a chance that Mujeeb will also feature in the next match in place of Ijaz Ahmad Ahmadzai.

Important players for the Afghanistan Team in the match against Ireland

1- Rahmanullah Gurbaz got out on a golden duck in the last match, but he is one of their main batters who can score well with a good strike rate and will be crucial for them in the next match.

2- Rashid Khan never flinched from the challenge, even after his long-term injury. He took three important wickets in the last match and now has 40 wickets against the Ireland side.

3- Nangeyalia Kharote is one of Afghanistan’s most impressive new players. He impressed everyone in his debut on both formats and in the last match, he took two wickets to trouble the opposition.

Team Preview of Ireland

Ireland gave an amazing performance in the last match, especially by Harry Tector, who scored 56 runs, and Benjamin White, who took four wickets to win for Ireland. It is not going to be an easy win for sure in the next match because the Afghanistan team is one of the most improved teams in the ICC association.

Important players for the Ireland Team in the match against the Afghanistan Team

1- Mark Adair should come upper the order because his batting is way better than many others in the squad, but he needs to bowl in the opening spell because he can swing the ball well. In the last match, he scored 10 runs and took one wicket against Afghanistan.

2- Josh Little came into the side after a long time and delivered well, taking three wickets in the last match against Afghanistan. He will also be important for the team in the next match.

3- Harry Tector once again showed why he is such a reliable player for the Ireland team. While others felt trouble playing the shots, he was able to score a half-century in just 34 balls.

Afghanistan vs Ireland Match Prediction

If they do not play under pressure, Sri Lanka will have an edge in this match against Afghanistan.
