Afghanistan and Ireland will lock horns in the 25th match of the T20 World Cup 2022 on 28th October at Melbourne Cricket Ground. Afghanistan is looking for their first win after two matches out of which one was abandoned due to rain. Ireland, on the other hand, have achieved a historic win over England in the last match on the same ground.
Ireland is currently at the 4th spot in the group while Afghanistan is at the bottom.
Ireland’s confidence undoubtedly skyrocketed after their win over England but seeing the head to head record between Afghanistan and Ireland, we can expect a thrilling contest.
The pitch at MCG offers a good pace to the bowlers and it is a little difficult to hit the ball out the boundary due to the size of the ground but it is overall a balanced pitch. Average score is around 150.
According to the weather forecast, light rain is expected during the match hours with 89% precipitation. The temperature will hover around 13°C.

The Irish skipper was the Player of the Match in the last match. Balbirnie smashed 62 runs off 47 deliveries and he looked in good touch. He scored 85 dream11 points in the last match.
Curtis Campher is our dream11 captain pick for this match due to his pace bowling skills which will be useful at this pitch and his ability to score runs. He has scored 119 runs in 4 innings at an average of 39.66 and picked 2 wickets so far.
The Afghan top-order batter is one of the destructive young batters in the T20 circuit. He is yet to give a good performance in this year’s T20 World Cup but we are backing him as a must-pick for this fantasy team.
For his pace bowling abilities, Farooqi becomes an automatic pick for this fantasy team. He has picked 1 wicket so far at an economy of 6.00.
Josh Little is currently the leading wicket taker from Ireland team. He has picked 6 wickets in 5 matches and his current form makes him an important pick for the fantasy team.
