IRE vs AFG| Ahead of the Asia Cup that is scheduled for an August 28, 2022 start, team Afghanistan is peaking properly as they have made their presence felt in the ongoing T20I series against Ireland. The Mohammad Nabi-led Afghanistan side that was reeling at a scoreline of 2-0 in a 5-match T20I series has pulled their socks up and has brought out the best in themselves. With the Irish side showing sudden signs of improvement since the India series, they had always started as favorites and they lived up to it in the first two matches.

With a series loss looming over their head, the Afghanistan side registered a massive turnaround as they won two matches on the trot to level the series 2-2. The Mohammad Nabi-led side won both the matches convincingly with a margin of 22 runs and 27 runs each. Afghanistan has set up the series beautifully and now they will look to clinch the series which will be a motivating factor for them before they head into the Asia Cup and take on cricketing giants such as India and Pakistan.
