Ireland are favorites to win
After the hosts beat Afghanistan by seven wickets with one ball remaining on Tuesday and by five wickets with six balls on Thursday, Ireland know that a win in this match will seal the series. Ireland have impressed across all disciplines against Afghanistan who have not looked at all comfortable away from the media. Read on as we preview this match. The game gets underway at 19:00 local time.
Ireland will feel they have turned a corner but will not want to rest on their laurels before they have strung together a larger group of wins. We fancy them to go 3-0 after this match.
Afghanistan are yet to show what they are made of in this series. They have not posted enough top batters and Ireland may well be able to contain them again in this game.
TV channels: The live TV coverage is yet to be announced.
Live Streaming: Fans can stream the match on Fancode in India.
After winning both tosses, Afghanistan have made it clear that they think their best way of winning is to bat first. Irrespective of who wins the toss we expect to see Ireland fielding first.
We saw 13 wickets fall across the two teams as the bowlers continued to have the upper hand over the slower bowlers in Thursday evening’s game. There was no half-century on Thursday evening but we expect to see on here.
No chance of rain and an ever so slightly prospect of rain on Wednesday evening. Expect the temperature to be in the high teens aby the end of the game.

As expected, the Irish hosts decided to keep faith with the same XI who had got them the win over Afghanistan ahead of Thursday’s game. With two wins from two, they just need one more push to get the series victory. With no injuries, we anticipate no chages to the side.
Ireland have turned their season around and are now targeting their third win of the series to take an unassailable 3-0 lead.
Paul Stirling, Andy Balbirnie (c), Lorcan Tucker (wk), Harry Tector, George Delany, Curtis Campher, George Dockrell, Mark Adair, Andy McBrine, Barry McCarthy, Josh Little
We expect to see the Afghanistan team management keep faith with the same XI from Thursday’s game. These players are clearly their most competitive available and now is the time to put together a consistent run of games for the players ahead of the T20 World Cup.
Afghanistan came into this series in exceptional form but have not hit the heights as yet in this tournament.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Usman Ghani, Hashmatullah Shahidi (c), Najibullah Zadran, Mohammad Nabi (c), Ibrahim Zadran, Azmatullah Moarzai, Rashid Khan, Naveen ul-Haq, Noor Ahmad, Mujeeb ur Rahman
Ireland have brushed Afghanistan aside in their opening two matches of this series. However, they still have a nine-match gap to fill against Afghanistan in this format.

Ireland have their bit between the teeth after twinning both of the opening games over Afghanistan. Although the bookies are backing Afghanistan to win, we fancy Ireland to get the win.
So far we have seen Afghanistan bowlers not at their best but we expect to see an improvement in this game. Four of the six Irish bowlers took two wickets for Afghanistan against Ireland.
We suggest backing Paul Stirling, Lorcan Tucker and Andy Balbirnie as our recommendations with the bat for Ireland. Balbirnie went at a strike rate of 127,77 on Thursday.
Hashmatullah Shahidi, Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran are our batting tips for Afghanistan. Shahidi top scored with 36 runs from 42 balls in the second IT20.
Josh Little, Barry McCarthy and Andy McBrine are our tips to be the top bowlers for Ireland. McCarthy was expensive on Thursday and will be looking to make amends in this game.
We recommend Rashid Khan, Naveen ul-Haq and Mujeeb ur Rahman as our picks with the ball for Afghanistan. Naveen is a fine pace bowler who should be able to get some more assistance form the wicket.
The hosts have been excellent in the two games of the tournament so far. Their losing run in IT20s now seems like a long time ago and it will take a huge turnaround for Afghanistan to win. We are backing Ireland to win the game and secure the series.
