Hello and Welcome to our preview for Afghanistan vs Ireland match. We are covering AFGH vs IRE Dream11 Team Prediction, Preview and Probable Playing XI for the ODI match. The match is to be played at Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium, Dehradun.
Afghanistan had a memorable T20 series and will be determined for a similar performance in ODI series. They will be further boosted by the addition of Mohammad Shahzad, Rahmat Shah, Hashmatullah Shahidi and Gulbadin Naib.
Ireland on the other hand had a poor outing in T20I series. Their batsmen still had a satisfactory performance but their bowlers were totally clueless throughout the series. Skipper William Porterfield along with experienced pacers Tim Murtagh and Barry McCarthy will increase their chance to give a tough challenge to mighty Afghanistan team.
A good match can be expected between both teams in the first ODI of the five-match series.
