AFG vs IRE Match Prediction & Analysis
It was a shame to have the second ODI of the three-match series being abandoned due to rain. The Afghans had won the first game convincingly and now have a 1-0 unassailable lead in the series. 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 have lost the last five games against them and need to bounce back. 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.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Afghanistan Preview
Hashmatullah Shahidi's team will look to grab the series after taking a lead in the first game. It was a clinical show from their bowlers in the first game, where they never allowed the Irish batting unit to get back into the game. The Irish side will be no pushover, and Shahidi will expect a good show from his players.
Openers Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran set up a 150-run stand in the last game and look to repeat the same performance. Azmatullah Omarzai, Mohammad Nabi, and Rahmat Shah are experienced batters who strengthen the middle order. They expect runs in the lower middle order from Shahidi and Gulbadin Naib.
The bowling attack is in good form, and the side would like to see early wickets from Fazalhaq Farooqi and Azmatullah Omarzai, who shared six wickets in the first game. Naib and Allah Ghazanfar must bowl tight spells in the middle overs. Nabi and Noor Ahmed add depth to this attack.
Afghanistan Predicted Playing XI:
Hashmatullah Shahidi (c), Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Ibrahim Zadran, Rahmat Shah, Azmatullah Omarzai, Mohammad Nabi, Ikram Alikhil (wk), Gulbadin Naib, Noor Ahmad, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Allah Ghazanfar
Afghanistan Actual Playing XI:
Hashmatullah Shahidi, Ibrahim Zadran, Ikram Alikhil, Azmatullah Omarzai, Mohammad Nabi, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Naveed Zadran, Rahmat Shah, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Allah Ghazanfar, Nangyal Kharoti
Ireland Preview
Paul Stirling's side will be under pressure. The bowling attack and the top order failed to deliver the goods in the first game, and they must regain their form to win here. The Afghans will be tough to beat in these conditions, and Stirling expects a strong show from his senior players.
Andrew Balbirnie and Paul Stirling missed out on the last game. They are the most experienced batsmen on the side and must do well. Harry Tector's hundred in the last game will make him confident, and he must do well in the middle order with Curtis Campher and Lorcan Tucker. For the team to win, George Dockrell and Mark Adair must do well in the lower middle order.
The bowling attack had a poor day in the first game, and they will need tight spells with the new ball from Mark Adair and Graham Hume. The middle overs are crucial at this venue, and the side will need a good show from Craig Young and Theo van Woerkom. Andy McBrine, Campher, and Dockrell must do well in the ing role.
Ireland Predicted Playing XI:
Paul Stirling (c), Andrew Balbirnie, Curtis Campher, Harry Tector, Lorcan Tucker (wk), George Dockrell, Mark Adair, Andy McBrine, Theo van Woerkom, Graham Hume, Craig Young

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
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. The side batting first will target a score of around 300 runs to feel comfortable on this surface.

Pitch Condition
BalancedBatting Conditions
Moderate ScoringPace Bowling
Pace BounceSpin Bowling
High Turn
Sharjah Cricket Stadium is a small ground and perhaps among the highest-scoring ones in the world. The outfield is lightning-fast, ensuring easy boundaries, and batsmen enjoy this surface. There isn't much for the fast bowlers on this track, but spinners do well when the ball stops on the batsmen.
Toss: To Bat
It is one of the best batting surfaces in the world, and we have seen big scores on the board. The ball will turn in the second innings, making things difficult for the batsmen. Hence, we believe the side winning the toss will opt to bat first.
AFG vs IRE
Winning Prediction
Ireland doesn’t have a good record against Afghanistan. The bowling attack is weak, and bowlers cannot take advantage of these conditions. The pressure will be on their bowlers to deliver a strong performance. Afghanistan has a strong bowling attack, and their top order is in form. We expect a close game, but Afghanistan will start as favorites in this game.
