AFGH vs IRE 1st ODI Dream11Team Prediction and Probable XI: Preview

Hello and Welcome to our preview for Afghanistan versus Ireland match. We are covering AFGH vs IRE 1^st ODI Dream11 Team Prediction, Preview and Probable Playing XI for the three-match ODI series. The match is to be played at Civil Service Cricket Club, Belfast.

The two teams are clashing with each other in the 50-over format after a gap of almost five months. Afghanistan and Ireland faced each other in the Qualifiers of the World Cup 2019 held in Zimbabwe in March. Surprisingly after that, both the teams have not played a single ODI.

Afghanistan overpowered Ireland both the T20Is which were played in the last week. The third and last T20I match was abandoned due to wet outfield and the Afghans clinched the series 2-0. The Irish capitulated against the spin of Rashid Khan and attack of H Zazai and were defeated comfortably.

We now have this three-match ODI series where Ireland will be hoping to reverse the result of the T20Is and inflict a defeat on their familiar enemies while Afghans will want to continue their dominance over the green nation.
