The surface is typical of an Irish pitch, which usually helps seamers with swing and seam movement early on, especially when overcast and there is some grass coverage. Bounce is generally accurate. After the new ball softens and moisture vanishes, the track settles into a good batting surface.

IRE vs AFG Toss Prediction

The captain who wins the toss would prefer to bowl first. In the previous game, the surface favored the bowlers in the first innings, which Afghanistan's bowlers took advantage of. The ground has historically favored the chasing side, with 46% of games won by bowling first and only 39% won by batting first.

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

Ireland vs Afghanistan Match Prediction – Who Will Win

Afghanistan are the clear favorites to complete a 4-0 series sweep. Already ahead 3-0, they have controlled with Sediqullah Atal (215 runs) and Ibrahim Zadran (203) in excellent form, and Rashid Khan taking an outstanding 12 wickets. Ireland improved their fight in the fourth ODI thanks to Andrew Balbirnie's century and Curtis Campher's cameo, but the visitors' superior quality should ensure another victory.

Prediction: Afghanistan (AFG) to win.
