Because of a lack of a better option, Ireland and Afghanistan have been taking on each other at a neutral venue in India each time they’ve had a bilateral series in the last couple of years. Once again, they’ve had a 3-match T20 series at Noida between 6-10 March and so far, the Afghanis have managed to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series, and will be looking to complete the whitewash today!
On the other hand, Ireland will be looking to salvage some pride and walk out with their heads up high. In both games, Afghanistan have batted first and 170+ has turned out to be a winning total in both games. The third game is set to be played at the same ground in Noida.

Afghanistan
The new captain and one of Afghanistan’s most loved cricketers Rashid Khan should be the first person you pick in your AFG vs IRE fantasy team for today. He’s managed to top the bowling charts in this series too, with 4 wickets in 2 games with an economy rate of 6.0. Mujeeb Rahman has also bagged 4 wickets but he’s gone at nearly 11 runs per over, so I’ll take the risk and leave him out for this 3rd T20.
One of Afghanistan’s best cricketers, Mohammad Nabi hasn’t had much to do in this series with 1 wicket and 27 runs in 2 games, so I’ll leave him out. Instead, I’ll pick Gulbadin Naib who is a less popular fantasy pick but has all-round abilities too, with 1 wicket and 13 runs so far. With scores of 42* and 16* with the bat, Najibullah Zadran is yet to be dismissed and he’s one good pick for your fantasy team today.
Ireland
Spin has done well in this series so far, so Simi Singh is also a must-have in your PlayerzPot (Use Code “READ1234”) fantasy team today as he has 2 wickets in 2 games, with an economy rate of just 6.6 runs an over. Along with him, left-arm spinner George Dockrell is a good option because he won’t even be picked by many fantasy teams, considering he’s gone wicketless in 2 games in this series in Noida. Both spinners are good with the bat too.
Talking about all-rounders, we have the very talented Paul Stirling in the side who has played across the world in various T20 and T10 leagues, and is the second highest scorer this series too, with scores of 12 and 60. Though he’s bowled only 1 over this series for just 3 runs, he is pretty useful with the ball too. Joshua Little has impressed since his debut but has been wayward this series, so there won’t be many picking him.
