Ireland vs Afghanistan 2nd T20 Ballebaazi Fantasy Cricket Preview
Ireland
Ireland would hope against hope to win tomorrow’s match and keep their chances to win the series alive. The squad needs to work on their batting performance after a ghastly show in the last match. Barring Paul Stirling and Gary Wilson, other batsmen struggled to score runs. Ireland’s bowling was credible; Joshua Little was economical as well as picked wickets. Simi Singh and Peter Chase are other capable names in the bowling unit. Ireland could possibly make some changes in the playing XI.
Afghanistan
Afghanistan has already taken a lead in the series and would eye on winning it tomorrow. The top order trio – Mohammad Shahzad, Hazratullah Zazai and Asghar Stanikzai were good with the bat in the last match and are the key batsmen for the team. Particularly, Hazratullah Zazai surprised the whole crowd with an impressive batting performance. The middle and lower order batsmen need to put their hand to the plough unlike the first match. Afghanistan’s bowling is stellar; Rashid Khan, Mujeeb ur Rahman and Aftab Alam will be a menace to the Ireland batsmen.
