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.
