Afghanistan Team News & Playing 11
Mohammad Shahzad was the second-highest run-getter for Afghanistan in the T20 series and he is continuing to impress in the ODI series as well. The opener will be the key batsman for his team that will also expect good contributions from Noor Ali Zadran and Rahmat Shah at the top. Rashid Khan has been the most successful bowler for Afghanistan on this tour. He took the most wickets in the T20 series and recently claimed a four-wicket haul in the first ODI. He together with Mohammad Nabi will be a major threat to the Irish batsmen in this match.

Mohammad Shahzad (wk), Noor Ali Zadran, Rahmat Shah, Asghar Stanikzai (c), Hashmatullah Shahidi, Samiullah Shenwari, Mohammad Nabi, Gulbadin Naib, Dawlat Zadran, Amir Hamza, Rashid Khan.
Ireland Team News & Playing 11
Ireland's batting is going to depend a lot on Paul Stirling and
their skipper William Porterfield, both of whom have had a good outing
in the series. While these two hold the key at the top, contribution
from Kevin O'Brien in the middle-order will be crucial. Not only
with the bat, Kevin O'Brien is valuable for Ireland with the ball as
well. He was the pick of their bowlers in the T20 series and he nabbed
three big Afghan scalps in the first ODI. The pacer will be backed by
his team to take wickets and contain the batsmen in this match.
Ireland Predicted Playing 11

EC Joyce, PR Stirling, WTS Porterfield (c), NJ O'Brien (wk), KJ
O'Brien, GC Wilson, SR Thompson, GH Dockrell, TJ Murtagh, J Mulder, PKD
Chase.
Afghanistan vs
Ireland 3rd ODI Prediction
Ireland are finding it tough to overcome Afghanistan on this Greater
Noida surface. Their bowlers have so far not been able to utilize the
conditions as well as their Afghan counterparts have. Batting too seems
fragile in the middle order with Kevin O'Brien and Gary Wilson
struggling to find some form. Afghanistan on the other hand have fared
better in both batting and bowling departments. Playing in familiar
conditions is certainly an advantage and they are making the most of it
at the moment. Mohammad Shahzad, Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi are
playing their roles to perfection which makes us confident enough to
deem them as winners of this third ODI.
Final Verdict: Back Afghanistan to beat Ireland in the third
one-day international.
