Afghanistan will take on Ireland in the first of the three-match T20I series on Friday, March 14, in Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah. In the ODI series before the T20I series, the Shahidi-led side humbled Ireland with a 2-0 margin. However, it was Ireland who came out on top in the one-toss that was played in Abu Dhabi.
For Afghanistan, ace leg spinner Rashid Khan will return to the side as a leader after missing out on the previous two series due to injury. Apart from the skipper, their veteran off-spinner Mujeeb-ur-Rahman is also returning to the side, thus boosting the bowling artillery of the hosts. Ireland, on the other side, are going with a full-fledged squad that also played in the 50-over format. However, their concern lies in their inability to play spin well and the home side comprises ace spinners Rashid, Mujeeb, Nabi, and Noor.
