The three-match ODI series between Afghanistan and Ireland will end on Tuesday (26th January) with the third ODI of this series at Sheikh Zayed Stadium (Abu Dhabi).

While this ODI series is a part of the 2020–23 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Super League, Afghanistan have already secured this series by leading it 2-0 with one to go. Still, the last ODI of this series is equally important for both these teams as one win will add another 10 points in their ongoing Super League competition.
