Fantasy Tips
Pitch Report:
Civil Service Cricket Club, Belfast
This wicket generally favours batters and pacers more . Pace bowlers generally get some movement here in the initial overs. You can expect scores in the range of 160-180.
In the last match there was almost no help for the bowlers and in fact they had shortened the boundary also to negate the effects of the spin trio of Afghanistan.

Important Picks in the Small Leagues:
- Hazratullah Zazai(hasn’t played the previous match): Naturally attacking player Hazratullah Zazai will open the inning for Afghanistan team. He tries to hit every balls on leg side and Irish bowlers can take advantage of that. In power plays, he can hit some nasty blows and can provide good points.
- Rahmanullah Gurbaz: Afghanistani opener is totally hit or miss type of player but against teams like Ireland, he can fetch good points for your team and his wicketkeeping skill will be add on.
- Najibullah Zadran: One of the best batter of Afghanistan team, Najibullah Zadran will bat at number five. Southpaw can play according to the situation. In his last five innings, he has crossed 30+ score four times and that includes two fifty plus score.
- Mohammad Nabi: Afghanistani all rounder is the most impactful player of this team. He can contribute with both bat and ball. Afghanistani spinner is all set to bowl 4 overs and down the order can score with quick run rate.
- Rashid Khan: Afghanistani spinner is the most skilful bowler of modern day cricket. Against weaker opponent like Ireland, he is the perfect captaincy material for your dream11 team.
- Naveen Ul Haq: Afghanistani pacer is one of the skill full bowler of death overs. He used to deceive with his slower ones and cutters. In his last 5 matches, he has taken 8 wickets (22/3, 11/0, 24/4, 26/0, 32/1). He has very average outing in the previous match but on a batting friendly pitches bowlers can go expensive.
- Fazalhaq Farooqi: Rising star pacer is one of the best bowler of modern generation. He has the ability to swing the bowl both ways and in the death overs, he can bowl cutters and change of pace. He is must have pick in your dream11 team.
Trump Card Picks:
- Mujeeb Ur Rahman:
- Usman Ghani
IRELAND Team Preview:
They had surprised their opposition by their attacking approach in the last match. They were an average performer of this format but surely, their skillset has improved from the last few series.
Probable11 of the Team:
Paul Stirling: RHB+RAO
Andy Balbirnie: RHB
Lorcan Tucker: RHB
Harry Tector: RHB
Gareth Delany: RHB+RAL
George Dockrell: RHB+LAO
Curtis Campher: RHB+RAM
Mark Adair: RHB+RAM
Andy Mcbrine: LHB+RAO
Joshua Little: LAM
Barry Mccarthy: RAM
Team Composition:
Main Batters: Paul Stirling, Lorcan Tucker, Andy Balbirnie and Harry Tector
Main Pacers: Joshua Little, B Mccarthy and Mark Adair(Curtis Campher will assist them)
Main Spinners: Gareth Delany and Andy Mcbrine(George Dockrell will assist them)
Expected Death Overs: Joshua Little and Mark Adair
Important Picks:
- Paul Stirling: He is one of the finest Irish batter of this format. He has the ability to use the power play in the best way. On his day he can single handedly win the game for Ireland. But his recent form is not promising as Irish opener is unable to convert his start into big one.
- Harry Tector: Technique wise, he is one of the best Irish batter of this team. He knows how to play according to different situation. In his last 8 innings, he has two thirty plus score which includes one fifty as well(6, 34,2, 23, 13, 58, 28,25)
- Mark Adair: He is all certain to bowl in death overs because of his variations. He is good in bowling change of pace, cutters and Yorkers which makes him difficult to hit in slog overs. Sometimes, he used to get wickets in bundles. His batting ability makes him the most important pick of your dream11 team.
- Joshua Little: One of the finest Irish bowler who has the ability to take wickets. If Little bowls well in initial overs, then is all certain to bowl in death as well.
