Pitch and Conditions
The Sharjah Cricket Stadium venue has smallish boundaries, which makes it a big-scoring ground. However, the surface on offer does not favor batters. Bowlers will get purchase from the track. The wicket gradually becomes tougher to bat on as the game progresses.
The weather for this game between Afghanistan and Ireland is likely to be sunny and pleasant. There is a good chance we will get a cloud cover, though. This can help the quicks. However, there is no chance of getting rain. That apart, we will not get any help for the bowlers from the weather.
AFG vs IRE Betting Tips
Even though Ireland managed to win the test match played earlier in their visit to UAE, the ODIs are a different ball game. The Afghans have an excellent line-up. You can expect them to perform better in this series. We will bet with Afghanistan to win this opening contest and take an early lead in the series.
Bonus Cricket Bets

Afghanistan has a better and more all-round bowling attack. You can bet on the top bowler to be from the Afghanistan team.
