Preview

Ireland (IRE) will be up against Afghanistan (AFG) in the 2nd of the third T20Is between the two sides. Ireland won the first match by 38 runs in a low-scoring game. They are riding on good confidence. On a sluggish wicket in Sharjah, Ireland posted a par score and defended with ease. The bowlers of Ireland were brilliant and did not let the Afghanistan batters chase down the target.

The second match of the series will take place in Sharjah, the new home ground of Afghanistan. If Ireland wins the match, they will claim an unassailable lead of 2-0 in the series. Afghanistan need to be at their best to win the game. They have a lot of fresh faces, and the challenge is to get the best out of all of them. Ireland just need to replicate what they did in the first T20I. That promises to be a good contest between the two sides. 

Both the teams have some excellent players. Ireland boasts of a lineup that consists of players like Andrew Balbirnie, Paul Stirling, Harry Tector, Lorcan Tucker, Barry McCarthy, and so on. Afghanistan has the likes of Rashid Khan, Mohammad Nabi, Azmatullah Omarzai, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Ibrahim Zadran, Naveen-Ul-Haq, Fazalhaq Farooqi, and so on. One could expect a good contest between the bat and the ball.

Pitch Report

The 2nd T20I match of the series between Afghanistan and Ireland is set to take place in Sharjah cricket Association stadium in Sharjah. Over the years, the wicket has been known for its sluggish nature. Even in the first T20I between the two sides, the wicket was not easy to bat on. Spinners play a key role with their slow pace. Pacers need to rely on variations and slower ones to succeed. Batters must apply themselves and bat longer in the middle.

Player Picks

8
C

Mohammad Nabi AFG | ALL

The star all-rounder has been in a great run as a player in the last few months. The experienced player can finish the innings lower down the order and claim wickets as a spin bowler.

8.5
C

Rahmanullah Gurbaz AFG | WK

Rahmanullah Gurbaz has been one of the best batters in the last few years. As the match will be important for Afghanistan, one can expect him to come to the party.

8
C

Curtis Campher IRE | ALL

Curtis Campher is a good talent. The All Rounder can anchor the innings as a batter and offer some overs as a bowler. On his day, Campher can win the match all by himself.

9

Rashid Khan AFG | BOWL

The star player is back into the side after a long injury. He is being named the captain of the side. As Afghanistan lost the first match, the focus is on Khan's performance in the do-or-die match.

7.5

Paul Stirling IRE | BAT

The Irish opener has been playing the sport for a long time. He is one of the most aggressive batters. Under his captaincy, Ireland won the first T20I. Stifling can provide an explosive start.

9

Sediqullah Atal AFG | BAT

Sediqullah Atal got a chance to open the innings for Afghanistan. However, the talented batter could not make an impact. In the 2nd T20I, the world could witness what the batter has to offer.

9

Ijaz Ahmad Ahmadzai AFG | BAT

The lower middle-order batter can bat in either ways. If the team suffers a collapse, he can anchor the innings. If the team needs a great finishing, he can play fine cameos.

8

Neil Rock

IRE | WK

Neil Rock has the potential to be a good batter for Ireland. However, at the moment, he is playing in the lower middle order. He might not get an opportunity to bat at that position.

8.5

Mujeeb Ur Rahman

AFG | BOWL

Mujeeb Ur Rahman has not been picked by Afghanistan in the ongoing series. In the first match, Kharote came in his place. As Afghanistan is.likely to go with the same combination, Mujeeb might not be a good choice.
