Ireland vs Afghanistan Prediction: Afghanistan to level up the series in the fourth game

Ireland will be hosting Afghanistan in the fourth game of the T20 series at Stormont on the 15th of August. Will Ireland finally be able to win a series at home or will Afghanistan level up the series with yet another win? 

Ireland

Ireland won the first two games of the T20 series against Afghanistan but they were outclassed in the third game of the series. They were not able to conquer the humongous total put together by Afghanistan in the third game of the series. The bowling which has been their highlight was destroyed by the Afghan batters. Ireland will look to rectify their mistakes from the third game and will look to win the series in the fourth game. 

Ireland Predicted Lineup

Paul Stirling, Andrew Balbirnie, Andy McBrine, Harry Tractor, Gareth Delany, Curtis Campher, Lorcan Tucker, George Dockrell, Mark Adair, Barry McCarthy, Joshua Little.

Afghanistan

Afghanistan struggled a lot in the first two games of the series but came back strongly in the latest game. Despite being invited to bat for the third time in the tournament, they were able to put on a huge total to crush Ireland's spirit. They were clinical in all departments throughout the game which has been a rare sight in this series. With a ray of hope of winning the series, they would want to go back again and level up the series in the fourth game. 

Afghanistan Predicted Lineup

Hazratullah Zazai, Ibrahim Zadran, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Najibullah Zadran, Sharafuddin Ashraf, Mohammad Nabi, Azmatullah Omarzai, Rashid Khan, Mujeeb Ur Rehman, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Noor Ahmad/ Karim Janat.

Expert betting tips

Ireland is a more balanced side but with now resurgent Afghans who will have better players, Afghanistan look more likely to win the second game of the series. The same pitch will be used and we can see another good Afghanistan start to the innings. We are expecting Afghanistan to win the game and level the series.
