AFG vs IRE Dream11 Prediction

Ireland made a winning start to the tour by defeating Afghanistan in the only Test by 6 wickets. However, it is now the time for some white-ball action. Afghanistan last played an ODI series against Sri Lanka in February and lost 0-3. On the other hand, Ireland last played an ODI series against Zimbabwe in December and the Irish side won the series 2-0. Now, both teams will look to make a winning start in the series to gain an early advantage.

Sharjah Cricket Stadium Pitch Report

It is a decent batting track but it is expected to be on the slowish side. An even contest between the bat and ball is expected here as the spinners will play a crucial role on this surface. Meanwhile, the surface might play under the lights; hence, the team winning the toss might opt to bowl first.
In the last 5 ODIs here, the team batting first has won only one match and the team chasing has won four. On the other hand, the average score batting first in ODIs here is 224.

Last result at the venue

UAE (184/10 in 36.1 overs) lost to West Indies (185/6 in 35.1 overs) by 4 wickets – 9 June 2023

What are AFG vs IRE Fantasy Tips?

• Afghanistan spinners are well versed with the playing conditions and they could put Ireland in trouble here. Try them as the captain of your GL teams.
• While Sharjah’s wicket has played well in recent times, it might turn out to be a low-scoring affair. Fill a couple of your GL teams with bowlers from both sides to maximise such a situation.
