Afghanistan will be facing off Ireland in a 3-match T20I series starting on Friday at the Greater Noida Sports Complex. Though Afghanistan continued its struggle from the last year’s World Cup in the ODI format, their success in the T20Is remained the same. Afghanistan recently shared the T20I Tri-series with Bangladesh where they lost a couple of matches but bounced back with a 2-1 series victory over West Indies. On the other hand, the Irish team managed to drew their series in the Caribbean earlier this year.

All the key stats and numbers ahead of the 3-match T20I series between Afghanistan and Ireland:

0/9 – Ireland has not won any T20I match they played on Indian soil. They played nine T20Is in India thus far losing in eight of them while another game ended in a washout after 8 overs of first innings. Ireland’s T20I record against Afghanistan in India reads 0-6.


3-0 – Greater Noida Sports Complex Ground hosted three T20Is thus far; all during the 3-match T20I series between Afghanistan and Ireland. The Afghan team won all the three matches during that series to complete a whitewash.


9/23 – Paul Stirling has scored nine fifties in the T20I format across 23 matches he played since the start of 2019. Stirling scored 871 runs at an average of 41.47 across those 23 T20I games.

29 – Rashid Khan has claimed 29 wickets in his T20I career against Ireland; the most T20I wickets by any player against an opponent in Men’s cricket. He has picked those 29 wickets across 10 T20Is only with two 4-fers and two 5-wicket hauls. Rashid has an impeccable bowling average of 7.2 over the Irish team.
