IRE vs AFG: Match Analysis, Fantasy Tips, Dream11 Prediction

The 3rd T20I will be played at Stormont on 12th August, 8:00 PM IST 

Ireland vs Afghanistan, 1st T20I

Ireland initially came into the series after facing soul crushing defeats at home soil at the hands of the Netherlands and New Zealand. But they made a note worthy comeback against Afghanistan. 

Ireland clinched the first T20I by 7 wickets, dominating in every department. Andrew Balbirnie played a skipper's knock of 51 runs, putting an end to his inconsistent form. The 2nd T20I also ended in complete Irish dominance, Balbirnie again scored a well awaited 46. 

Meanwhile, Afghanistan have struggled to find their footing in the series. A toppling batting lineup and a weak bowling foundation has led to the team's downfall.

Pitch Report: Stormont has a well-balanced track. Providing equal support to the bowlers and the batters. The fairly green-top makes sure that the ball comes onto the bat nicely but also gives movement to the bowlers. Spinners can also take advantage of the track as the game proceeds.
