Afghanistan and Ireland will be playing the 25th match of the T20 World Cup 2022 on Friday (October 28) at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne. This will be the third game for both teams in the Super-12 stage. Afghanistan lost their first game against England after failing to defend a total of 112 runs. However, the bowlers did create some pressure as it took 18.1 overs for England to chase this mere total. The second game against South Africa ended in a no result due to rain and both shared a point each. They are placed in the last position in the points table currently. Ireland, on the other hand, have had a dream run in the T20 World Cup so far this year. They defeated West Indies to qualify for the Super-12 stage and lost the first game against Sri Lanka. However, the best performance came against England in the last game as they managed to thump the ODI World Champions by five runs based on the DLS method. Ireland and Afghanistan have played a total of 23 T20Is against each other so far in which Ireland have won seven while Afghanistan have won the rest 16 matches. They played a five-match T20I series in August this year which Ireland won by a margin of 3-2.

Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team
Azmatullah Omarzai
AFG | ALL
He has failed to pick a wicket in his last five T20I matches for Afghanistan and can be avoided for this game.
Mark Adair
IRE | BOWL
He has failed to pick wickets in the last three matches in the tournament and considering there are other in-form bowlers on both sides, you can avoid picking him in your fantasy team.
