Commentary

  • 31.4
    Tim Murtagh c Rahmat Shah b Rashid Khan 0 (5)

    OUT! Caught. Rashid Khan to Tim Murtagh. Leg spinner half volley, down leg side on the front foot driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to mid on, by Zurmatai. That will be that. Murtagh looks for an expansive drive over the top, but mis-hits it to mid on for a simple grab.

    Turned out to be a one affair. 238 was far too many for Ireland to consider chasing down. It may have been a closer game had Rashid Khan and Shafiqullah not added those quick runs at the end of the Afghanistan innings though. Mujeeb Zadran on debut was spectacular. His unorthodox off spin bamboozled the Irish batsmen, and they did not have an answer. This result means that the hosts go 1-0 up in the three match series. Can Ireland bounce back on Thursday?

    OUT! Caught. Rashid Khan to Boyd Rankin. Leg spinner half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to mid off, by Janat.

  • 28.2

    APPEAL! Mujeeb Zadran to Boyd Rankin. Off break back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot driving, hit pad to short extra cover for no runs, fielded by Khan, appeal made for L.B.W. Rankin may have got away with that one. He was expecting some turn, but the ball skidded on to crash into the back pad. Replays showed it looked pretty adjacent.
