AFG vs IRE Key Players

Josh Little

Over the last year, Josh Little has impressed a lot. He has pace, he is young and he is already proving that he can lead an attack. A good spell from him up front will be key for Ireland as they will rely on him for consistent breakthroughs throughout the innings.

Rashid Khan

Rashid Khan is Afghanistan’s biggest asset. If Afghanistan are to do anything in this World Cup, his set of 24 balls in each game are going to the key factor. While Melbourne is swinging a lot, it will be interesting to see how Rashid Khan brings his bag of tricks out.
