Preview :

The three-match T20I series between Afghanistan and Ireland will kick off on Friday, March 15. The Sharjah Cricket Stadium will be hosting all games of the series.Ireland won the only Test but failed to carry forward the winning momentum. Afghanistan won the three-match ODI series by a 2-0 margin after the second game was abandoned due to rain. The action now shifts to the shortest format.

The Afghans beat the Irish side comprehensively in the third ODI. After finishing their innings on 236/9, they knocked over Ireland on 119 to win the game by a big margin of 117 runs. Mohammad Nabi and Nangyal Kharoti picked up five and four scalps, respectively, for Afghanistan.

Rashid Khan who was out of action due to a back injury will be back to lead the Afghan side in the T20I series. Mujeeb Ur Rahman also has been added to the squad and with the experienced players back in the side, they will be looking to start the series on a winning note.Paul Stirling will continue to lead Ireland. They have failed to play to their potential in the ODI series and will be looking to bounce back in the shortest format. A win in the first T20I would surely boost their confidence going ahead in the series.

Makes various team combinations with the help of these information.

Rahmanullah Gurbaz :

Rahmanullah Gurbaz is the star wicketkeeper-batter who is known to give attacking starts for the side more often than not. He was the leading run-scorer of the ODI series with 172 runs from 2 innings. He comes into this match with 3976 T20 runs to his name. One of the best captaincy choice for grand league.

Lorcan Tucker :

Lorcan Tucker is the Irish middle-order batter has been one of the most consistent batters for the side off late and was their second-highest top scorer in the ODI series as well. Good pick.

Ibrahim Zadran :

Ibrahim Zadran is the promising opening batter has already scored a half-century in a Test and an ODI against Afghanistan over the last few weeks and is a powerful batter. Must have pick.

Paul Stirling :

Paul Stirling is captain of Irish squad who will open the innings and will no doubt bat in his usual aggressive manner. The right-hander has scored 3438 T20I runs. Hit or miss type player.

Azmatullah Omarzai :

Azmatullah Omarzai is the star Afghanistan's all-rounder who is going through with decent form currently. His performance in all three departments have been superb over the past one year. The all-rounder has the ability to win a game single-handedly with either bat or ball. The 23 year old took a two-wicket haul in two of the T20Is against Sri Lanka last month. Default c/vc pick.

Harry Tector :

Harry Tector is the one of the most consistent Irish batter is also in the form of his life as he has been scoring runs at a great pace in all formats of the game. The 24 year old right-hander has not only impressed on this tour but also hit an unbeaten half-century in his last T20I. Must have pick.

Mohammad Nabi :

Mohammad Nabi is an experienced Afghanistan's all-rounder has finally picked up form and is contributing for the side in both batting and bowling. C/vc pick.

Rashid Khan :

Rashid Khan is the T20I specialist for Afghanistan makes a return this series and there is absolutely no doubt that he would be a solid pick for the team

Fazalhaq Farooqi :

The left-arm pacer often has an inconsistent run for Afghanistan but has finally picked up some form in this series as he is the joint-most wicket-taker so far. Good pick.

Joshua Little :

The Ireland international is one of the best pacers in the world in T20Is. If he is in great rhythm, he can surely scalp wickets for his team. Good pick.
