Player Of The Match
  • 36.1

    OUT! Caught. Mohammad Nabi to Boyd Rankin. Off break half volley, off stump on the front foot driving, in the air under control to long on, by Naib. Rankin attempts the big shot but doesn't quite get enough of it and can only find the man at long on to end the Ireland innings.

    A sorry innings from Ireland the never really gathered momentum as they kept losing wickets. Once the Afghanistan captain had Gary Wilson trapped in front, that ended ant sort of fight back from the Irish. This should be quite a simple chase for Afghanistan unless the Irish seamers can put in the performance of the series.
