Why is Rashid Khan not with the squad? I haven't seen him in a one-off test and his name is also missing from the white ball squad. What's the reason? Injury, taking a break, or considering only the ICC tournament and franchise cricket?

There is not much going on in the Afg vs Ire contest, just the same old boring bilateral series. Hope, it goes to the last ball finish in the second inning.

Afghanistan not only missing Rashid Khan but also Mujeeb Ur Rahman. Rashid is recovering from back injury while Mujeeb Ur Rahman recovering from hand injury. It's been quite a while since Rashid Khan has played for Afghanistan, his last appearance for Afghanistan was on Nov 10, 2023 against South Africa.
Can't say much about current contest between Afghanistan and Ireland. The game right now is hard to predict. After 10 or 15 overs things will get more clear.

The ODI match between Afghanistan and Ireland team has already started. Today's match will be a highly contested game as the performances of the two teams are not much different. So even if Afghanistan team wins the first t20 match, they have to perform well in this match. Ireland team won the toss and decided to bowl and they basically prepared to play a full target. If the Afghanistan team can protect the wicket and perform for a long time, then there is a possibility of winning this match.

You may have made a slight mistake Afghanistan did not win the first T20 match but it won the ODI match. In today's match Afghanistan team batted first and managed to score 236 runs for nine wickets in the allotted 50 overs.To say that Ireland bowlers bowled well today as a result of which they managed to restrict Afghanistan team to 236 runs. If Ireland batsmen play patiently and carefully today they might be able to win this match. Ireland were first under pressure in today's match as their opening batsman Andre Balbirnie was dismissed for four runs and returned to the dressing room.

Afghanistan vs Ireland
The third match of the Afghanistan vs Sri Lanka ODI series has started. Ireland won the toss and elected to bowl. Afghanistan got the opportunity to bat first, so far Afghanistan have collected 104 runs for the loss of 4 wickets in 24 overs. Afghanistan's top order batsmen could not perform very well today. The two opening batsmen did well at the start, Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran put on a 62-run partnership. Rahmanullah Gurbaz was dismissed for 51 runs while Ibrahim Zadran was dismissed for 22 runs and Rahmat Shah was dismissed for 4 runs.

Ireland's bowlers improved a bit today. So far McBrine, Barry McCarthy and Mark Adair have taken 1 wicket each. Ireland need to stop Afghanistan before 250 runs to win today. Let's see how many runs target Afghanistan can give in the end.

Afghanistan team failed to collect big today. Due to slow batting from the beginning of the innings, at the end of 50 overs, Afghanistan lost 9 wickets and collected 236 runs. But considering the condition of the pitch, it cannot be called a bad collection. If the bowlers bowl well, Afghanistan has a chance to win.

The first innings average of this pitch is 223 runs and the second innings average is only 191 runs. So even with Afghanistan providing a small target, it cannot be said that Ireland will win.

If Ireland wants to win today's match, the top order batsmen will definitely need to bat responsibly. Ireland cannot win if the top order collapses quickly. Afghanistan's bowling attack is quite strong. So Ireland's batsmen have to play very carefully from the beginning of the innings.

Afghanistan won the first match after batting first. And it looks like they may win this time as well. Rahmanullah Gurbaz is still there with 47, although Irish bowlers have taken two quick wickets. Ireland is missing Craig Young for today's match. That means that pace bowling responsibilities need to be shared between Mark Adair, Graham Hume and Barry McCarthy. Also they have the part-time medium pace from Curtis Campher. But the absence of Young seems to have impacted their bowling effectiveness.   

Rahmanullah Gurbaz is just caught and bowled by McBrine and score is 85 on completion of 18 overs. Afghanistan have psychological advantage in this series because they have won the opening game of the series. Ireland need to stop Afghanistan from crossing 225 runs otherwise it won't be easy to chase. Afghanistan are playing today without Rashid Khan so there bowing lineup looks little bit weak.

If the Afghanistan team can protect the wicket and perform for a long time, then there is a possibility of winning this match.
Afghanistan batsmen are batting very carefully today. Afghanistan's top order batted brilliantly in the first match as well. Rahmanullah Gurbaz scored 121 runs and Ibrahim Zadran scored 60 runs. In today's match, the batting of the two openers of Afghanistan is very slow. Afghanistan collects only 18 runs after 5 overs. Afghanistan have not lost a wicket yet. Although Afghanistan's batting is very slow, if they do not lose wickets quickly, then the team has the ability to provide more than 300 targets in today's match. Afghanistan is capable of batting well in death overs. Several hard hitting batsmen are in the Afghanistan squad.

If Ireland wants to win, the bowlers must bowl well. Although the pitch is batting friendly, it will be challenging for Ireland to win even if Afghanistan set a target of more than 300. But today's match looks to be very competitive.
After a careful aggressive start, Afghanistan lost 2 wickets in a short span of three overs. This has significantly impacted the scoring rate of the AFG team. AFG openers gave a good start of 62 runs. Gurbaz is on the crease and looking good. If he stays at the crease, AFG will comfortably score 300 runs. At the moment, Ireland bowlers are tightening the screws. A couple of wickets here might turn the game in Ireland's favour. Ireland has the golden opportunity to level the series, as the 2nd match of the series was abandoned. Anything below 300 will be difficult to defend and Ireland will not have that psychological pressure.

Opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz could bat well but Ibrahim Zadran and Rahmat Shah could not bat well. Ibrahim Zadran scored 22 runs and Rahmat Shah got out with just 4 runs. And Rahmanullah Gurbaz scored 51 runs.

After 18 overs, Afghanistan lost 3 batsmen and collected 85 runs. Afghanistan's run rate is now only 4.72. The team batted slowly from the beginning of the innings, even after batting very carefully, they could not survive at the crease. If batting like this, it will be difficult for Afghanistan batsmen to collect up to 200 runs. I think Afghanistan will lose today and the series will draw 1-1.

Yes you are right in the first ODI between Afghanistan and Ireland, Afghanistan defeated Ireland to take a one-nil lead in the series. However the second match between them was declared abandoned due to rain. Now only one match is left between these two teams which is the third match of the ODI series between them. If Afghanistan win the third match then they will be able to win the series and if Ireland win then this one series between them will be drawn. If we look at the performance of the first match we can see that Afghanistan's batsmen batted very well that day as a result of which they were able to score 310. But after that Ireland team batsmen came to bat they batted well but on that day Afghanistan bowling was good due to which they were able to win the match.
I agree with your analysis of the first ODI between Afghanistan and Ireland. It was a well fought match where Afghanistan batsmen performed really well to set a challenging target of 310 which I think really a good target. And the bowlers of Afghanistan team then backed up the strong batting performance of their batsmen by restricting Ireland batsmen and securing the victory. And in my point view both teams have shown their capabilities and it promises to be an exciting finale to the series so lets wait for the remaining matches to see how both teams will perform.

The last ODI match of the series is going to start shortly. They were very confident after their win against Afghanistan in the Ireland Test match. But Ireland failed to win the first ODI match. Basically, if the bowler could have done some controlled bowling, maybe the Ireland team would have been able to win the ODI match against Afghanistan. But Ireland's bowlers could not bowl under control, giving Afghanistan a target of more than 300.

Ireland's captain Paul Stirling decided to field after winning the toss in today's match. And even today, if Ireland's bowlers don't bowl well, Ireland won't win. Ireland's bowlers will need to restrict Afghanistan to 280 if they want to win the match.

Sorry, your information was incorrect. Today is the third match in Matcity ODI series. Afghanistan won the first ODI match by 35 runs. And the second match was abandoned. If Ireland win today's match, the series will be drawn, and if Ireland lose, they will lose the series 2-0.

In the test match, we saw an excellent performance from the Ireland players. Ireland also played well in the first ODI. However, the performance of Ireland's bowlers needs to be improved. A win against Afghanistan will not be impossible if the bowlers do not perform well. Afghanistan squad has a lot of talented batsmen. That's why if Ireland's bowlers don't do well, I think Ireland will lose.

In the first one-day match of this one-day series Afghanistan team beat Ireland cricket team to take a One-nill lead in the one-day series. The second ODI match between them was abandoned due to rain and neither team got a chance to toss in the second match. The third ODI match between Afghanistan and Ireland is going to be much more fighting and exciting.

The third match is the most important for Afghanistan as they have a chance to win the series.
Today is a very important match for both Afghanistan and Ireland. Afghanistan will win the series if they win today. On the other hand, if Ireland lose, the series will be lost.

We saw in the first match that the top order batsmen did not do well in Ireland, if the top order batsmen did well then the match could have gone in favor of Ireland. To win this match today, Ireland will need to do well in both the batting and bowling lines. However today I will predict Afghanistan to win this match. Because Afghanistan's batsmen are back in form, Afghanistan's bowling line is also quite good. Let's see which team wins today.
Ireland lost to Afghanistan in the first match of the three-match ODI series. Today is the second match of the series where today's match is very important for both teams especially if Ireland wants to survive in the series there is no option to win this match today. In the last match we saw that Ireland's bowlers and batsmen did not perform well due to which Afghanistan managed to score 310 runs while Ireland managed to score only 275 runs. Economic bowling and responsible batting are needed to defeat Afghanistan in today's match.

The 3rd ODI between Afghanistan and Ireland will be played today at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. Afghanistan will be the favored team here, after their spectacular win during the first match. Irish batsmen are doing OK, but their bowlers are leaking too many runs. And the absence of quality spinners, especially while playing in Asia is hurting them. Anyway, the fightback from Irish batsmen during the first match was impressive. Once again, the duo of Harry Tector and Lorcan Tucker proved their worth.

In my point of view the next game between Afghanistan and Ireland will be very exciting. Because both teams want to win this match. Because Afghanistan wants to win and finish the series and Ireland wants to win and tie the series. The last match was abounded due to rain of rain so we don't know what will happen in this game. By the way it will be interesting to see how both teams play and which players will do well. So let's see who will be better player for his team.

If Afghanistan win the third ODI match, they will be able to win the series and if Ireland win, the series will be tied. The third match is the most important for Afghanistan as they have a chance to win the series.

So Ireland can only draw the series if they win the last game while Afghanistan has nothing to lose even if they gave away last game. It's bad luck for Ireland that the second game was abandoned due to rain. UAE is dry region and rarely receives rain. Afghanistan is very different side in T20 and ODI format. They are highly predictable in these two formats and Afghanistan has beaten big teams in ODI and T20I in the past.
