Afghanistan Team News & Playing 11
Afghanistan will rely largely on the likes of Mohammad Shahzad, Hazratullah Zazai, Asghar Afghan and Mohammad Nabi to do the job for them with the bat. Shahzad is the team's leading run-scorer in ODIs while Hazratullah's fiery knock of 162 not-out in the second T20I would still be fresh in the memories of the Irish bowlers. The onus will be on this opening pair to take Afghanistan off to a flying start. Nabi was the star performer in the T20I series with both bat and ball and the all-rounder is a vital cog in the team's line-up. He along with Rashid Khan and Mujeeb Ur Rahman form a world-class spin attack. Rashid was sensational in the final T20I where he took four wickets in four balls and helped his team seal a 3-0 clean sweep. The leg-spinner is the most threatening of the trio and he is likely to trouble Ireland the most in this first ODI.

Ireland Team News & Playing 11
Paul Stirling, William Porterfield and Kevin O'Brien form the core of Ireland's batting and it will be mainly up to them to score the big runs in this match. Stirling and O'Brien were the team's most impressive batsmen in the preceding T20I series with 124 and 116 runs respectively. Porterfield has scored the most runs for Ireland in the fifty-over format and the skipper will look to lead from the front. The Irish will turn to Boyd Rankin, George Dockrell and Simi Singh to deliver the goods for them when it comes to bowling. Boyd Rankin and George Dockrell are amongst the most successful bowlers for Ireland in ODI cricket. Rankin was their best bowler in the T20Is with six wickets in three matches and the pacer will be backed by his team to do some damage early on with the new ball.

Afghanistan vs Ireland Betting Odds
Afghanistan are favorites to win this first one-day international at very short odds of 1.21 on Betfair and 1.16 on both Betway and Bet365. Ireland begin as huge underdogs amongst the bookmakers and they are being offered at a much higher price of 4.50 on Betway, 5 on Bet365 and 5.60 on Betfair.
🏆 Afghanistan vs Ireland Prediction
Afghanistan and Ireland have played a total of 20 one-day internationals against each other in the past with both the teams winning 10 times each. The former, however, have beaten the latter thrice in their last four ODI meetings. Also, their 3-0 whitewash of Ireland in the recently concluded T20I series will give them a big confidence boost ahead of this series. Ireland are all wounded with the beating they received in the T20Is and they just don't seem to have any plans against the Afghan spin troika of Rashid, Nabi and Mujeeb. Afghanistan are carrying plenty of momentum with them and we expect them to continue their winning ways.
