Preview
The final leg of the full-fledged Ireland tour of Afghanistan begins tomorrow as the two teams are set to battle it out in the first T20I of the three-match series at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in Sharjah. Afghanistan were able to clinch the ODI series 2-0 after losing the one-off Test earlier this month.
Afghanistan will be looking to capitalize on their excellent run of form in the white-ball leg of the tournament. Their players have been in form and have looked good both with the bat as well as the ball. Considering their progress over the last decade, Afghanistan would be the favorites entering the series and have certain T20 specialists on the side as well.
Ireland would be hoping to turn their fortune in the upcoming T20I series against Afghanistan. After a convincing win in the one-off Test, the visitors lost the plot in the ODI series. The batters have to do better for them since the bowlers have been doing the job for them. If they can improve that aspect, they can surely clinch the series this time around.

Pitch Report
Captains
Azmatullah Omarzai AFG | all
The Afghanistan all-rounder is one of the most in-form players in the cricketing world currently. His performance in all three departments have been superb over the past one year.
Harry Tector IRE | bat
The Irish batter is also in the form of his life as he has been scoring runs at a great pace in all formats of the game.
Mohammad Nabi AFG | all
The Afghanistan all-rounder has finally picked up form and is contributing for the side in both batting and bowling.
Top
Fazalhaq Farooqi AFG | BOWL
The left-arm pacer often has an inconsistent run for Afghanistan but has finally picked up some form in this series as he is the joint-most wicket-taker so far.
Rashid Khan AFG | BOWL
The T20I specialist for Afghanistan makes a return this series and there is absolutely no doubt that he would be a solid pick for the team
Joshua Little IRE | BOWL
The Ireland international is one of the best pacers in the world in T20Is. If he is in great rhythm, he can surely scalp wickets for his team.
Budget
Nangeyalia kharote AFG | all
The left-arm spinner played just one-game in the ODI series and left every Ireland batter flummoxed as he was able to scalp four wickets and give away just 30 runs.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz AFG | wk
The wicketkeeper-batter is known to give attacking starts for the side more often than not. He was the leading run-scorer of the ODI series with 172 runs from 2 innings.
Lorcan Tucker IRE | wk
The Irish middle-order batter has been one of the most consistent batters for the side off late and was their second-highest top scorer in the ODI series as well.
