TFG Fantasy Pundit: Ireland to keep shuffling, Afghanistan likely to retain their winning combo

Overview 

Afghanistan will be tempted to play their same 11 from the previous game. On the other hand, Ireland will continue to experiment with their team. Barring Kevin O’Brien, Porterfield and Joyce, we wouldn’t pick anymore batsman from the Irish camp. Meanwhile, there are a few blokes from the Afghanistan camp who are capable of doing the job with the willow. 

Probable 11 for the round 

AFG- Mohammad Shahzad, Noor Ali Zadran, Javed Ahmadi, Ashgar Stanikzai, Rahmat Shah, Mohammad Nabi, Najibullah Zadran, Marwais Ashraf, Rashid Khan, Dawlat Zadran, Shapoor Zadran 

IRE- Paul Stirling, William Porterfield, Ed Joyce, Kevin O’Brien, Gary Wilson, Peter Chase, Stuart Poynter, Tim Murtagh, Andy McBrine, Barry McCarthy, Goerge Dockrell 

Players who cannot be ignored 

Kevin O’brien- Picked 4 wickets in the last game and also contributed with the bat. A genuine match-winning all-rounder. 

Mohammad Shahzad- The Afghani keeper is enjoying his role at the top with the bat. His motto has been simple- see the ball, hit it. 

Rashid Khan- His variations and intelligent spin bowling has kept him amongst the wickets regularly. 

Dark Horses 

Mirwais Ashraf- He has the uncanny knack of picking up wickets just when his team needs it. 

William Porterfield- The Irish captain will open the innings and with his steady game, he can get you some handy points. 

TFG Pundit XI: Mohammad Shahzad, Rahmat Shah, John Anderson, Mohammad Nabi(vc), Najibullah Zadran, Marwais Ashraf, Rashid Khan, William Porterfield, Ed Joyce, Kevin O’Brien(c), Barry McCarthy

Happy Hunting!!!
