Afghanistan was handed a heavy defeat by England in their first game of the campaign. Their last game against New Zealand was washed out by rain and it helped them register the first point on the table. For the Afghans, the challenge will be to adapt to the Australian conditions quickly and set up a competitive total to bring their potent spin attack into play against an Ireland side not used to playing quality spin bowling. Ireland will be much more confident as they produced all-round performance to beat England in their last game.
