AFG vs IRE Dream11 Match Preview:
Afghanistan will be playing against Ireland in the 25th match of the T20 World Cup 2022 on Friday (October 28) at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne. Both teams have played 2 games each so far in the Super-12 stage. Afghanistan lost their first game against England which was not a big surprise as they only put up a total of 112 runs. Although, the bowlers did put in some extra effort to restrict the English team as much as they could as it took 18.1 overs for England to chase this mere total. The second game against South Africa was one of the only games that ended in a no result due to rain and both shared a point each. They are placed at the bottom of the points table currently.
Ireland, on the other hand, seem to have been sailing with favorable winds of luck so far as they have had a great run in the T20 World Cup. First, they defeated West Indies to qualify for the Super-12 stage however that was short lived as they lost the first game against Sri Lanka. However, the best performance came against England in the last match as they managed to beat the ODI World Champions by 5 runs based on the DLS method. Ireland and Afghanistan have played a total of 23 T20Is against each other so far in which Ireland have won seven while Afghanistan have won the rest 16 matches.
They played a five-match T20I series in August this year which Ireland won by a margin of 3-2. It certainly is expected to be a close call as both teams are at the edge of the sword. You can get Live Cricket score on crickbee.com.
