AFG vs IRL 3rd ODI match prediction 26 Jan 2021

Afghanistan v Ireland 3rd ODI | Winning Bets from the Game

Ireland will be facing Afghanistan in the 3rd and final ODI match of the series at Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi on 26 January, Tuesday.

The Ireland tour of UAE is at an end, and Ireland have lost all the matches in the series, including a tour match played by the teams before they started the ODI's in earnest. Afghanistan have lost 3 of the last 5 matches played by them, and Ireland have won 3 of their last 5 matches, and yet Afghanistan are the favourites to win the match, as they are on a three-match Streak against Ireland. The odds of betting on Afghanistan winning might not be appealing, but I have pulled the three best bets from the market for you to make a profit off the match.

Rahmanullah Gurbaz to Score Over 25.5 runs

Rahmanullah Gurbaz debuted the ODI's for the first time in this series, and he has definitely come through. In the two matches he played, he scored 121 and 31 runs in the two ODI's. He has played against Ireland in T20's last year, and we do know that this is not a one-time thing for him. In fact, in the 3 T20 matches he played against them last year, he scored over 25.5 runs in all the matches against them. He scored a total of 105 runs against Ireland from 3 T20 matches at an average of 35.0. This is extremely impressive for T20 matches, and now even his ODI average is stunning at 76.00 from the 2 games. All his records show he is extremely likely to score over the target, and LeoVegas has offered the best odds of 1.86 for Rasmanullah Gurbaz to score over 25.5.

Paul Stirling to Score Over 27.5 runs

The Irish Opener has been a pillar of strength for his team and has been a regular reason for the team to come out victorious in their matches. He has a career total of 4579 runs from 124 matches with an average of 38.8 from the games. He has played 29 games against Ireland and has an average of 46.25 against them, with 10 half-centuries and 2 centuries against the team. He scored over 39 runs in the last 5 matches he played against them, and in his last 5 matches. This series has had him score a total of 302 runs(128, 39, 4, 131*) from the four games, at an average of 100.67! If you aren't convinced by his stats for this bet yet, I don't know what will convince you, but I will leave you with one more fact. Paul Stirling has played 16 innings in the United Arab Emirates and he has scored a total of 731 runs, at an average of 48.73. LeoVegas has offered odds of 1.86 for Stirling to score

Afghanistan to Hit the Most Match 6’s

The last bet is an easy one to figure if you just look at their previous performances of the teams. In the last 5 games played by the teams, Ireland have scored a total 23 sixes from the games, at an average of 4.60 per match, while Afghanistan has scored a total of 40 sixes from her matches, at an average of 8.0 from the games. That's almost double the average of Ireland. In the last match between the teams, almost all the Afghanistani Batsmen collaborated to hit a total of 17 sixes, while only Paul Stirling managed to hit sixes for the Irish side who managed only 4 sixes. I further looked at the head to head games between the teams, and Afghanistan have Ireland completely dominated in this area. In the last 5 head to head matches, Afghanistan has hit a total of 41 sixes against Ireland, while Ireland hit a total of 14 sixes, where Afghanistan hit more sixes in all the games. Even in 4 of the previous 5 head to head games, Stirling was the only player from the Irish team to hit sixes in the match, so in a way, this bet is giving you odds of the Afghani team hitting more sixes than Paul Stirling, and everyone should take the bet. LeoVegas has dreamed odds of 1.80 for Afghanistan to score the most match 6's.
