Afghanistan will take on Ireland in the 1st T20I of the 5-match series at the Civil Service Cricket Ground in Belfast. Considering the quality of players on both sides, this series can be a great one to watch out for.
Ireland have played some good cricket at home this season, but they have not managed to convert those performances into results. The pacers of the side have been really good this season, but the batting has lacked control. Apart from Paul Stirling and Harry Tector, the rest of the batters have struggled.
Afghanistan will again rely on their T20 specialist spinners in order to do well in this series. Mohammad Nabi has been appointed the captain for this series, and he has ample experience in this format of the game. The batting of the side will decide the fate of Afghanistan in this series.
