AFGH vs IRE 2nd ODI Dream11Team Prediction and Probable XI: Preview

Hello and Welcome to our preview for Afghanistan versus Ireland match. We are covering AFGH vs IRE 2nd ODI Dream11 Team Prediction, Preview and Probable Playing XI for the three-match ODI series. The match is to be played at Civil Service Cricket Club, Belfast.

Ireland once again disappointed with the result despite putting up a good show with the ball. T20I was a format where the Afghans were known to be a dominating force but ODIs were expected to be an even contest. However, the Asian team is leading 1-0 in the three-match series.

Gulbadin Naib batting at three top-scored for the Afghans with an impressive 64 while H Shahidi supported him with 54 as the visitors totaled 227/9 in 50 overs. Tim Murtagh made a spectacular return with 31/4 and tall Boyd Rankin picked up 44/3.

Chasing a modest total, Irish batsmen had high hopes but were eventually strangled by the world-class spin pair of Rashid Khan (41/2) and Mujeeb Rehman (32/1). Aftab Alam and Mohammad Nabi took two wickets each to script a 29-run victory.

Team News:

Afghanistan:

Mohammad Shahzad missed out the last match due to one match ODI ban. He will return for this match at the top in place of Ihsanullah Janat. H Zazai opened the innings for AFGH in the first ODI and will continue doing so.

Shafiqullah Shafiq served as the wicketkeeper in the last match. With Shahzad returning he may get dropped from this match. Rest of the playing XI is expected to be the same.

Ireland:
With the pitch assisting spin, Ireland’s most experienced spinner George Dockrell is expected to earn a spot in the team. He may replace Peter Chase.

The batting line-up of Ireland is experienced and they will probably receive another chance to perform as per expectations.
