Afghanistan Team News & Playing 11
Their top four had good hits in the first couple of games but none of them could get going in the third ODI. Afghanistan will dearly want its top-order to come good in this match, especially the likes of Mohammad Shahzad and Rahmat Shah. Fast bowler Dawlat Zadran and legspinner Rashid Khan will have huge expectations on them to deliver the goods with the ball. The duo have shared 19 wickets between them so far in the series and Afghanistan will find themselves in a strong position if these two are at their destructive best on Wednesday.

Mohammad Shahzad (wk), Noor Ali Zadran, Rahmat Shah, Asghar Stanikzai (c), Samiullah Shenwari, Mohammad Nabi, Gulbadin Naib, Dawlat Zadran, Amir Hamza, Rashid Khan, Shafiqullah.
Ireland Team News & Playing 11
Ireland will hope that Paul Stirling continues with his excellent form. The opening batsman has scores of 68, 95 and 99 in his three innings in the series and he therefore will be the team's biggest hope with the bat. William Porterfield and Andy Balbirnie who played a major role in Ireland's six-wicket win in the last game are the others to watch out for. Seamers Peter Chase and Tim Murtagh have bowled reasonably well so far picking up four and three wickets respectively. Both were economical the other day and are likely to cause a few problems for the Afghan batters in this upcoming match.

EC Joyce, PR Stirling, WTS Porterfield (c), NJ O'Brien (wk), A Balbirnie, GC Wilson, SR Thompson, AR McBrine, GH Dockrell, TJ Murtagh, PKD Chase.
Afghanistan vs Ireland 4th ODI Betting Odds
Bookmakers still have Ireland as outsiders for the fourth one-day international despite their convincing six-wicket victory over Afghanistan in the third ODI. While betfair has them up at 2.78, bet365 and betway both have them at 2.75. The hosts, after a rough last outing with the bat, are expected to shrug off this defeat and bounce back to seal the series on Wednesday. Afghanistan are favorites to win this match at best odds of 1.5 with 1xbet and 1.44 with both bet365 and betway.
Afghanistan vs Ireland 4th ODI Prediction
After toiling hard in the first five fixtures, Ireland eventually earned their first success of the tour. They outplayed Afghanistan in the third ODI by putting up a good batting display and this should bring back some of the lost confidence in the side ahead of the fourth game. However, they still need to be sharp in the field as they allowed Afghanistan to get to 264 even after having them at 97-6. Afghanistan, despite the loss, will be playing under less pressure as they need only one win from the next two games to clinch the series. They will look to put this defeat behind them and we predict them to strike back hard and win this match.
Final Verdict: Back Afghanistan to beat Ireland in the 4th ODI at 1.5 with 1xbet and 1.44 with bet365 and betway.
