Afghanistan and Ireland face each other in a three-match ODI series, with the first game scheduled on Thursday at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.

Both sides would look to gain early momentum in the series and will want to start with a win in this game. The series is set to be a part of the ICC World Cup Super League, and that makes it vital for both teams as it is connected with their hopes of qualifying for the 2023 World Cup.

For Afghanistan, this will be their first game since the Coronavirus pandemic put a halt on sporting action from March. Ireland, though, drew 1-1 against UAE in what was a shortened series.

Both the sides look well balanced and it will be interesting to see who will come out on top when the two sides take the pitch today.
