Ireland Team News & Playing 11
Ireland have been very disappointing with the bat so far in this series and they will be hoping to put up a better batting performance on Friday. But for that to happen, they will need healthy contributions from the likes of Paul Stirling, William Porterfield, Gary Wilson and Kevin O'Brien. Wilson has scored the most runs for his side - 56 in the two games - and it will be crucial that the skipper scores even big here. O'Brien has now failed twice in two matches and the team will need him to step up. Ireland's bowling will depend a lot on the opening spell of Boyd Rankin and Peter Chase. Rankin who played his first game of the series last time looked impressive with figures of 4-0-14-2 while Chase has taken four wickets, three of which came in the second T20I. Joshua Little and George Dockrell are the others in the side who have the potential to trouble the Afghani batsmen.

Afghanistan Team News & Playing 11
Afghanistan have had a good series with the bat so far thanks mainly to their top-order batsmen Hazratullah Zazai and Asghar Afghan. Hazratullah is looking in imperious form at the moment with knocks of 74 and 82 in the respective two matches and he certainly holds the key to the team's batting. Skipper Asghar has scored 68 runs in the series and he too seems to be in fine touch. Mohammad Shahzad has been inconsistent for a while now and the visitors will want him to get back amongst the runs. With the ball, Afghanistan will turn to their spin twins Rashid Khan and Mujeeb Ur Rahman to do the damage once again. The former has taken seven wickets already in the series, including a four-wicket haul in the last game, while the latter has taken five. Mohammad Nabi has looked below par with both and ball but he is expected to bounce back with a good performance here.

Ireland vs Afghanistan Betting Odds
Afghanistan's betting odds for this game have shortened up even further after their crushing win in the second T20 international. The visitors are heavy favorites amongst the bookmakers to make it 3-0 at very short odds of 1.33 on Betway and 1.22 on Betfair. Ireland don't seem to find a way to put an end to their poor run in the 20-overs format and they are the obvious underdogs for this match priced at 3 on Betway and 2.42 on Betfair.
🏆 Ireland vs Afghanistan Prediction
0-2 down in the series and with just one more game to play, Ireland now have nothing to play for but pride and they will look to salvage some of that on Friday. But it won't be easy for them to beat Afghanistan given how the series has unfolded. The Irish batsmen have struggled big time against the Afghani spinners and we don't expect them to overcome their batting woes in such a short span of time. Afghanistan have clearly dominated their opponents and the huge win in the last game will surely boost their confidence a lot more. The tourists have put up allround performances in both the matches and a 3-0 whitewash seems likely on the cards.
Final Verdict: Back Afghanistan to beat Ireland in the third T20I at 1.33 on Betway and 1.22 on Betfair.
