AFG vs IRE Match Prediction & Analysis
Afghanistan will eye an early lead in the three-match series against Ireland. Afghanistan won the ODI series against Ireland but lost the last two T20 series against India and Sri Lanka. The side will look to bounce back from those defeats and do well in this format. Ireland struggled in the ODI series, and the side will aim to play hard as the Afghans will come hard at them.
The Irish side has struggled on this tour with the white ball. They have a strong fast-bowling attack, but the lack of quality spinners is a major weakness in these conditions. Afghanistan has got a big boost with the return of their experienced bowlers. It will be interesting to see if the Irish side can mount a challenge for the confident Afghans.

Ireland Preview
Paul Stirling's team will look to make a strong comeback in the T20 series. They did not put up a challenge in the ODI series, where their batsmen did not apply themselves. Stirling will expect a strong show from his batsmen in this game, as the Afghans will make it tough for them.
Andrew Balbirnie and Paul Stirling must deliver a strong start, as it has been one of the team's weaknesses. The middle order must do well against the Afghan spinners, and the side will expect partnerships between Harry Tector, Curtis Campher, and Lorcan Tucker. George Dockrell and Mark Adair will look to add quick runs in the lower middle order.
Joshua Little's return strengthens the batting lineup, and he will look to pick early wickets along with Mark Adair. Gareth Delany and Barry McCarthy must do well in the middle overs and keep the Afghan charge under check. Craig Young, Tector, and Curtis Campher add depth to this attack.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
Sharjah will see a hot and humid evening, and we expect to see a flat surface where there will be lots of runs on the cards. Bowlers are likely to struggle on this surface. The side that bats first here would aim to put up 200 runs or more to feel comfortable.

Moderate ScoringPace Bowling

High Turn
Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah, is a high scoring with the small size of the ground and fast outfield helping batsmen score quick runs. There is absolutely nothing on this surface for the fast bowlers. Spinners have enjoyed a good record here as the ball can turn sharply and stop on the batsmen.
Toss: To Bat
We have seen massive scores at this venue, where the pitch was a great one to bat. In the last couple of years, most games have been won by sides that have batted first. The side winning the toss shouldn't hesitate to bat first on this track.
AFG vs IRE
Winning Prediction
Ireland doesn't have a good spin-bowling attack, and this is a major weakness for the team. They will be up against a string bowling attack and the Irish batsmen must do well for the team to win this game. Afghanistan will field a full-strength side in this game. Their players are used to these conditions, and it gives an edge to the team.
