AFGH vs IRE Dream11 Team T20 International Match Prediction | AFGH vs IRE, 1st T20I

Afghanistan will play as a host at their adopted home venue Dehradun when Ireland visit India for their first full-fledged tour, starting with a 3-match T20 series at Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium, Dehradun, Uttarakhand, tomorrow on Thursday evening.

Familiarity between the opponents:
In the past few years, one fixture that has been played far more than any other game is a matchup between Ireland and Afghanistan.

International Cricket Council (ICC) has always thrown its support behind the development of the game in other countries. Afghanistan is an exemplary model of how persistent and continuous support can open a different market for the game.

But there is a hell of a difference between the top test playing nations and an emerging cricketing country. Pitting them against a top powerful team would only open the vast differences between the skill-set of players. That’s why these two nations have faced each other a million times, bringing a feeling of over-familiarity between the two opponents.
