We’re building upto the ICC ODI Cricket World Cup and with it the international series are coming in at a flurry. Its Ireland and Afghanistan’s turn to do battle on the field this time around with Sunday seeing the two indulge in the first of the two ODIs that they’ll be partaking in.
With the world cup hardly 10 days away now, for Afghanistan the make issue of contention is all about get together their best performing 11 together. They missed the services of Rashid Khan and Nabi in the previous ODI encounter against Scotland but with the two back now from the IPL, the country will be looking to deploy its best bunch of players as they try out a few last possibilities.
AFGH vs IRE Best Dream 11 Team
Both the countries head into this series on massively different fortunes. While Afghanistan saw a rain marred match against Scotland titillate in their favour by 2 runs on the back of DLS, Ireland were made short work of by West Indies and Bangladesh. Competing a tri-nation ODI series with their fellow countries, Ireland were the only side from the tournament to emerge without a win with their next to absent bowling front being cleaned out at will.
If the recent ODI series that Afghanistan and Ireland clashed in is anything to go by, then these two matches promise to be absolutely cracking jaffers. There was hardly anything to separate the two countries when they met in April in India with the 5 match series ending 2-2 after both the sides enjoyed the shares of the spoil.
Heading into the first match of the series, TSR indulge you into our Dream 11 outfit for the series opener. Gong across all disciplines and verticals, we’ve constructed an equally balanced side that focuses heavily on the batting department given the absolutely scintillating track that will be laid out.
Wicket-Keeper for AFGH vs IRE Dream 11
The easiest of picks for us as we head into peeling off the first player for our team. Behind the wickets we are going in with Shehzad to be our pick. Not only does he come out to open one a surface that will play right into the batsmen kitty but he’s in good form as well having scored a half-century against Scotland. What also sees him being our certain pick is his ability to score a fast rate, something that should get him plenty of bonuses for the boundaries.
Batsmen for AFGH vs IRE Dream 11
Given that we are going to try and veer clear of bowlers from Ireland’s unit, we see us packing heavily on the batting front for them. The batting line-up has been totally opposing to the bowling attack, coming up with dependable performances on a persistent basis. And ensuring that they always deliver when they step out in the middle are the mainstays of Ireland’s batting unit in Andrew Balbirnie and captain William Porterfield. Both will take centrestage and by that virtue they come into our side.
It’s a three man pick from Afghanistan with Noor Ali Zurmatai, Hashmatullah Shahidi and Hazratullah Zazai getting selected for our side. All three constitute a part of upto the number 5 positions and with Ireland hardly regarded for their wicket taking ability, we see all of them getting cameos at the very least.
All-Rounders for AFGH vs IRE Dream 11
Paul Stirling has been in sensational nick off late and he’s going to be nailed down into our quad without any second thoughts. With a century and half-century in his previous two matches, the opener has carried out his due processes without a blemish. He is befittingly among the runs, something that his exquisite skillet fully warrants. Kevin O’Brien will be giving him company from Ireland.
From Afghanistan, we’ve decided to go in with Gulbadin Naib. He will get his 10 overs of bowling and with him coming in relatively upper up the lower middle-order we can see him getting a few crucial runs as well.
Bowlers for AFGH vs IRE Dream 11
We invested heavily in the batting department for a reason and that leaves us needing to just in the holes on the bowling front now. The first pick will be Rashid Khan from Afghanistan with us expecting the spinner to be fruitful against a relatively inexperienced Ireland unit infront of spin. They haven’t such treacherous turn recently as well and that should see Rashid pick up wickets here. Quick bowler Hamid Hassan will be our second pick with us expecting him to get some sort of deviation with the new ball.
From Ireland, we’ve decided to go in with Dockrell. He can take pace off the ball, something that could yield wickets especially with him coming to play in at a time when big shots are the need.
