The visitors have come with an experienced squad in Ireland. Mohammed Nabi will lead the team which has many veteran players like Hazratullah Zazai, Najibullah Zadran, and Hashmatullah Shahidi who will take the charge to score big.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"line-height:normal\"><span style=\"font-size:12.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\">Afghanistan&rsquo;s bowling is very dangerous under Rashid Khan, Fareed Ahmad Malik, and young Noor Ahmed, who are ready to exploit Ireland&rsquo;s batting lineup.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"line-height:normal\"><span style=\"font-size:12.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\">Looking towards the current form of both the teams, the Ireland side will be a bit worried as they have lost their last five matches despite performing well with the bat. Whereas, Afghanistan has the momentum in their hand as they have been undefeated in their last five matches.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"line-height:normal\"><strong><span style=\"font-size:12.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\">Match Prediction: Who Will Win The Match?
