Ireland vs Afghanistan – Performance in the Past Matches
Ireland is coming off with a tail of huge back-to-back losses. They lost 11 matches including 2 in the last World cup. Whereas Afghanistan holds an impressive record. They had shown their sheer power and courage against all the heavyweights. They won clean against Zimbabwe and even had an outstanding tournament against Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
Ireland vs Afghanistan – Face to Face
When the last time both of them clashed, it was Afghanistan who came out top as they beat Ireland by 21 runs. Afghanistan is finding its foot strong on the pitch through the amazing performances of all its players in both International and domestic cricket scenarios. Ireland despite having a strong team is lacking somewhere and when in form they have a couple of match winners in their squad.
