AFG vs IRE Halaplay Prediction | Afghanistan vs Ireland Test Match Preview | Team News & Fantasy Team

Two teams who have had limited experience international cricket take each other on as Afghanistan face Ireland in what will be a one-off Test Match on Friday.

Afghanistan have booked their berth in the ICC World Cup 2019, and this will be the first time the country will be playing a tournament of this stature. They have been a decent side in the last few years, and also made their debut in Test Cricket just last year in 2018. The nation is still a side who is developing as it grows financially, and games such as their next fixture are the kind of challenges the team needs to face in order to garner much-needed experience in all formats of cricket.

Meanwhile, Ireland too have played just one game in Test Cricket, and are looking to get back on track when it comes to the country’s aspirations. The team shocked the world in ICC World Cup 2011 when they defeated England in that sensational game, but they have limited things since then. The roster does possess some good talent who can turn into stars if given proper nourishment and exposure, and that’s exactly what the management has done in the past year.

Match Details: 

Venue – Doon Sports Club, Dehradun, India

Date & Time – 15th March | 10:00 AM IST

• Captain Asghar has been in great touch as he has been the pillar of consistency with the bat for the side.
• Mohammad Nabi is one of the better all-rounders of the team and has done justice to the leadership tag given to him.
