3 teams that Afghanistan can defeat to win their first ever Test match

#3 Ireland

Ireland nearly defeated Pakistan in their first test

Another team which made its Test debut in 2018, the Irishmen, put on a valiant performance against a superior Pakistan side. After a debacle in the first innings, Kevin O' Brien's century helped them make a comeback in the Test match. Pakistan escaped from embarrassment after they recovered from a top-order collapse in the second innings.

However, Ireland and Afghanistan would bring the best out of themselves if they go head-to-head in Test match cricket. Both the teams are looking for their first ever win in the 5-day format and a match between the two may even draw a good amount of viewers. A lot will depend on the playing conditions as Afghanistan may struggle to perform well in Irish conditions while the William Porterfield led unit may find it hard to tackle the spinners in Indian conditions.

Afghanistan had registered their first ever World Cup victory over a European side. Hence, it is possible that the Blue Tigers may defeat another European nation to register their first test victory.
