Afghanistan is on the backfoot after losing the 1st T20 of the three-match series by 38 runs. The loss surprised most pundits as they expected the Afghans to win here, with the conditions suiting them. They will look to bounce back with a strong performance in this game. Ireland will look to ride this momentum and pocket the series in two straight games.
The Afghans have done well in these conditions. The wicket is known to aid the spinners, and the Afghan side has a strong spin attack. The Irish side struggled with the bat despite their win in these conditions. It will be interesting if the Irish side can win the series or if the Afghans can mount a strong challenge and level it.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Afghanistan Preview
Rashid Khan will look for a better performance from his players after their poor show with the bat in the last game. The strong batting lineup failed to chase down what was an easy total. Rashid and his men would look to put all that behind their backs and focus on doing well and leveling the series.
Openers Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Sediqullah Atal failed in the last game, and the side will need a strong start. Ibrahim Zadran must anchor the innings at No. 3 and add runs in this game with Azmatullah Omarzai and Mohammad Ishaq. Mohammad Nabi, Ijaz Ahmad Ahmadzai, and Rashid Khan add depth to this lineup.
Fazalhaq Farooqi and Fazalhaq Farooqi did well in the last game, and the side expects early wickets from this new ball pair. Rashid Khan must lead from the front with the ball and pick wickets in the middle overs with Naveen-ul-Haq. Nangeyalia Kharote and Nami add strength to the attack.
Afghanistan Predicted Playing XI:
Rashid Khan (c), Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Ibrahim Zadran, Sediqullah Atal, Azmatullah Omarzai, Mohammad Nabi, Mohammad Ishaq (wk), Ijaz Ahmad Ahmadzai, Nangeyalia Kharote, Naveen-ul-Haq, Fazalhaq Farooqi

Ireland Preview
Paul Stirling's team will be confident after their big win in the last game. They troubled the Afghan batsmen with disciplined bowling, and the team will draw inspiration from that. Their batsmen struggled, and the Irish skipper will expect a better show from them as the Afghans will mount a strong challenge.
Andrew Balbirnie and Paul Stirling delivered a good start in the last game, and the side expects a similar show from the experienced pair. The middle order struggled and will need Lorcan Tucker, Harry Tector, and Curtis Campher to do well. Neil Rock and Gareth Delany must add quick runs in the lower middle order.
Joshua Little and Mark Adair bowled well in the last game, and the pair will aim to put the Afghans on the backfoot with early wickets. Gareth Delany and Barry McCarthy will look to keep the scoring rate under check in the middle overs. The side will also expect a good show from Benjamin White and Curtis Campher.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
It would be clear skies and a humid evening in Sharjah. Batting conditions would be good as the track has always produced big scores. Batsmen can easily play the ball on the rise, and bowlers must use their variations well. The side batting first would need a score over 170 runs to feel comfortable here.

High Turn
Sharjah Cricket Stadium has been a batting paradise with its flat surface, short boundaries, and fast outfield, allowing batsmen to score lots of runs. Fast bowlers have found it difficult to bowl on this surface, but spinners have done well, as the odd ball can take a sharp turn on this wicket.
Toss: To Bowl
We witnessed a slow surface in the last game, where batsmen struggled to time the ball. Putting up a score in these conditions is challenging. Hence, the side that wins the toss in this game shall opt to bowl.

Winning Prediction
Ireland comes into this game with a victory, but the side will have some worries about the form of its batsmen. They must bat well against the strong spin attack for the side to win this game. The Afghan side will enjoy crowd and play in conditions suited to their bowling. It makes them favorites.
