This will be the third bilateral T20I series between Afghanistan and Ireland, Afghanistan winning both of the previous bilateral series; doing so by margins of 2-0 (2018) and 3-0 (2017).
Afghanistan and Ireland have been involved in 12 completed T20I fixtures before; Afghanistan have managed to win nine of them (L3).
Afghanistan have recorded victories in all seven of their T20I fixtures since the start of 2018, including two meetings with Ireland; the Irish have only managed to register three wins in their 11 outings during the same period (T1 L7).
Afghanistan have only ever tasted defeat in one multi-game bilateral T20I series (W9 D1); losing 0-3 to the Windies in 2017.
Ireland have lost in all five of their previous T20I matches to have taken place in India; including three defeats to Afghanistan (one against the Netherlands and one versus Oman).
Afghanistan have played three T20Is before at the Ranjiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Dehradun, beating Bangladesh on every occasion in those three fixtures there last June.
Rashid Khan (Afghanistan) has taken eight wickets in his three T20I appearances at this venue in Dehradun, averaging just 6.1 across those outings; this includes taking match figures of 4/12 versus Bangladesh there on June 5th, 2018.
Afghanistan's Rashid Khan claimed his best-ever T20 bowling figures versus Ireland, managing to pick up five wickets for the price of just three runs (March 2017); only Sri Lanka's Ajantha Mendis (twice) and India's Yuzvendra Chahal have ever registered better figures in a T20I game.
Samiullah Shenwari has the opportunity to become only the fourth batsman to reach 1,000 T20I runs for Afghanistan (Mohammad Shahzad, Asghar Afghan & Mohammad Nabi); he needs 32 in order to get there.
Hazratullah Zazai (Afghanistan) posted a score of 82 off only 54 balls when his side was last involved in a completed T20I against Ireland; the third-highest innings score ever recorded in a T20I fixture between these teams.
