MATCH PREVIEW:
Date: January 21st, 2021.
Time: 11:00 A.M
Venue: Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi
PITCH REPORT:
The amazing pitch at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi is seen to be extremely favourable to batsmen for the Afghanistan vs Ireland match.
At the Sheik Zayed Stadium, the pitch permits batsmen to play the strokes openly, mostly even owing to fat nature. Nonetheless, they will be struggling against the spinners as the surface gets drowsy in the later overs of the match.
WEATHER REPORT:
The weather is predicted to be radiant and sunny on 21st January, 2021 with 25°C all day as estimated for the Afghanistan vs Ireland cricket match. There is almost zero chances of rain for a large portion of the match, which means there is an insignificant possibility of heavy rainfall as anticipated by the weather reporting research sectors.
AFG vs IRE Probable Playing 11:
Afghanistan probable XI line ups: Hazratullah Zazai, Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Karim Janat, Asghar Afghan (c), Samiullah Shinwari, Mohammad Nabi, Najibullah Zadran, Gulbadin Naib, Rashid Khan, Shapoor Zadran, Mujeeb Ur Rahman
Ireland probable XI line ups: Paul Stirling, Kevin O Brien, Andrew Balbirnie (c), Gareth Delany, Harry Tector, Simi Singh, Lorcan Tucker (wk), Craig Young, George Dockrell, Boyd Rankin, Joshua Little.
MATCH PREDICTION:
Afghanistan has clearly got Ireland’s number in terms of 20 overs but can Rashid spin his team into a win or will Stirling’s Ireland take the win. Perhaps the most important match of the series to the tone throughout. The conditions in the later overs might favour spin bowlers like Rashid, with Afghanistan predicted to take the first ODI. Afghanistan vs Ireland. Who will win?
CONCLUSION:
With both teams trying to win some ODIs this year, Afghanistan vs Ireland might be the series of the month.
