AFGH vs IRE Dream11 Team | Afghanistan vs Ireland 1st ODI Match Prediction

After a 3-0 mauling in the Twenty 20 series, Ireland would hope for a change in fortune when they take on confident Afghanistan in the first of five-match ODI series on Thursday. The T20I series way one-sided, and the Afghans would look to take this opportunity to rehearse for the upcoming Cricket World Cup 2019.

William Porterfield takes over the captaincy duties from Paul Stirling for the ODI series. Tim Murtagh is another who adds to Ireland’s bowling attack which looked toothless in the Twenty 20 series. On the other hand, Shapoor Zadran and Dawlat Zadran come into the Afghani unit to give their bowling more credibility.

Captains react after T20I Series

“Happy to lead the boys. I want to thank the Afghan locals who are here” – Asghar Afghan, Afghanistan Captain

“I think if you get in, you really need to go big. Hopefully down the line we’ll have some more lads learn from Kevin and Andy. We’ve got a few lads coming in for the ODI series, so excited to have them around. We have three days of training.” – Paul Stirling, Ireland Captain

 

Pitch conditions: Going by the T20Is played at the venue, there is no dearth of runs on this track. Expect a run-fest!
