After the second ODI ended in a no result, Afghanistan and Ireland will resume their 5-match ODI series when both the sides will lock horns tomorrow at Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium, Dehradun, Uttarakhand. Afghanistan leads the series by 1-0 and would be hoping to double their advantage. The clash is set to begin at 01:00 PM IST.
In the third ODI, Ireland needs to make a strong comeback to level the series and stay alive in the contest. Afghanistan is ahead in the series by 1-0 and has outplayed Ireland in all three departments so far. Earlier, Afghanistan clean swept the visitors by 3-0 in the three-match T20I series. Ireland not only requires extraordinary individual performances but will also have to dominate the game to outplay Afghanistan.
