AFG vs IRE Dream 11 Prediction: In the 25th game of the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup 2022, the Afghanistan team will be taking on Ireland at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne on 28 October, 2022 (Friday). Afghanistan’s most recent game of the T20 tournament against New Zealand ended without a result due to heavy rain after they suffered a disappointing 5-wicket loss at the hands of England. On the other hand, Ireland will definitely be feeling very much high on confidence as they defeated England during their last encounter by 5 runs.
