Afghanistan vs Ireland live streaming: Afghanistan vs Ireland prediction and preview

After months of absence from the international cricket scene, Afghanistan will return to face former nemesis Ireland. Rashid Khan, Mohammad Nabi, Mujeeb Ur Rahman are all incredible spinners, while Naveen-ul-Haq is their lead pacer. Rahmanullah Gurbaz, on the other hand, will be making his ODI debut in the upcoming game, with captain Asghar Afghan expecting the newcomer to shine.

Ireland are also in a good spot as they delivered an impressive performance in their last ODI outing. However, this is going to be a tough challenge for Andy Balbirni’s team, who will need Paul Stirling’s help to lead the batting, whereas Simi Singh will take charge of the bowlers. This game can be a cracker to watch out for.
