IRE vs AFG Dream11 Prediction — 2nd ODI Best Team, Captain & Vice-Captain Picks

IRE vs AFG Match Details — Afghanistan Tour of Ireland 2026 2nd ODI

The second ODI of the five-match series between hosts Ireland and Afghanistan will take place on August 7. The match will be played at the Bready Cricket Club Ground. The first game between both teams was called off due to heavy rain. Afghanistan would be eager to rebound from their recent 3-0 defeat in the ODI series against India. Rahmat Shah, 33, a veteran all-rounder, has been named the side's new captain. Ireland is full of confidence after defeating Team India 2-0 in the T20I series held in Ireland. It was an outstanding performance against the T20 World Champions, and I hope to carry that level into the 50-over game as well.

IRE vs AFG — Bready Cricket Club pitch report 

Bready Cricket Club typically provides initial help to pacers with swing and seam motion, particularly in overcast Irish conditions, as well as true bounce. Once the new ball has lost its shine, batters can score freely because the pitch turns into a true and even-paced track.

• Win Batting First: 47%

• Win Bowling First: 53%

• Best Suited For: Pace (55%)

Average Scores

• Average 1st Innings: 255

• Average 2nd Innings: 267

IRE vs AFG Toss Prediction

Bready's surface favors the side bowling first early on due to overcast, seam-friendly settings, but 53% of matches here have been won by batting second. Expect the toss-winning captain to decide on batting first regardless, as the average first-innings total of 255 offers a defendable base before dew and pitch wear favor chasing teams later in the game.

Prediction: Afghanistan to win the toss and opt to bat first.

Ireland vs Afghanistan Match Prediction – Who Will Win

Afghanistan is the odds-on favourite to lead the series. They dominate head-to-head (7 wins in the last 10) and have superior talent in Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Rashid Khan, and Fazalhaq Farooqi. Ireland is full of confidence following their T20I victory over India, and they have a home edge, but the visitors' quality should be decisive in the 50-over format.

Prediction: Afghanistan (AFG) to win.
