AFG vs IRE Dream11 Prediction
Afghanistan defeated Ireland in the first match by 35 runs and the second match was washed out because of rain. Hence, they are leading the three-match series 1-0 after two games.
In the first match, Rahmanullah Gurbaz’s brilliant century empowered Afghanistan to a massive total of 310/5 in 50 overs. Chasing the total, Harry Tector replied with a century but no other batter supported him. In the end, Ireland could only reach 275/8 in 50 overs and lost the game. Now, Afghanistan have an unassailable lead in the series but they will look to win it, while Ireland will try to level it with a comeback victory.
