Afghanistan will aim to extend their lead against Ireland in their ODI series as they face each other today, Monday, August 10, for the third match at the Civil Service Cricket Club in Belfast. After the first match was abandoned without a ball being bowled, the Afghans, led by Rahmat Shah, sealed a win in the second ODI, taking a 1-0 lead in the five-match series.
The second game was also a victim of the extreme weather, as it was reduced to 47 overs per side due to rain. Afghanistan batted first and posted a formidable total of 299/8. Ibrahim Zadran anchored the innings with 84 off 97 balls, while Sediqullah Atal posted 45.
In reply, Ireland struggled to maintain momentum and were eventually bundled out for 207 in 33.4 overs. While Cade Carmichael (62) and veteran Andy Balbirnie (36) offered some resistance, leg-spinner Rashid Khan completely dismantled the run chase with a devastating masterclass, claiming 6 wickets for just 34 runs to secure a 92-run victory for Afghanistan.
