Preview

The final leg of the full-fledged Ireland tour of Afghanistan begins tomorrow as the two teams are set to battle it out in the first T20I of the three-match series at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in Sharjah. Afghanistan were able to clinch the ODI series 2-0 after losing the one-off Test earlier this month.

Afghanistan will be looking to capitalize on their excellent run of form in the white-ball leg of the tournament. Their players have been in form and have looked good both with the bat as well as the ball. Considering their progress over the last decade, Afghanistan would be the favorites entering the series and have certain T20 specialists on the side as well.

Ireland would be hoping to turn their fortune in the upcoming T20I series against Afghanistan. After a convincing win in the one-off Test, the visitors lost the plot in the ODI series. The batters have to do better for them since the bowlers have been doing the job for them. If they can improve that aspect, they can surely clinch the series this time around.
