Ireland vs Afghanistan prediction
Although the expectation is that we will get a game in this time around, conditions could be well suited to bowlers with cloudy skies likely over the course of the second scheduled ODI. The quicker bowlers will therefore be hoping for significant movement and the batters will need to be patient and pick their shots carefully.
The likes of Fazalhaq Farooqi should play a big part with the ball. When taking into account the injuries within Ireland’s bowling group, focusing on Afghanistan and Farooqui in particular appears a shrewd play. He’s a left-arm pacer, capable of drawing batters into mistakes and can vary his pace extremely well. It’s well worth backing him to secure at least two wickets.
Ireland vs Afghanistan tip: Fazalhaq Farooqi to take over 1.5 match wickets
