IRE vs AFG 2nd ODI LIVE: The second ODI effectively serves as the opening contest of the five-match series after persistent rain washed out the first ODI without a single ball being bowled. Ireland and Afghanistan will be looking for a winning start as they continue their preparations for the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2027 qualification pathway with the series level at 0-0.
Ireland are brimming with confidence after their memorable 2-0 T20I series victory over India. Paul Stirling’s men will look to carry that momentum into the 50-over format, with experienced players like Harry Tector, Andrew Balbirnie, Curtis Campher and Mark Adair expected to play crucial roles. Promising left-arm seamer Jai Moondra is also likely to make his long-awaited ODI debut.
Afghanistan, meanwhile, continue their new journey under ODI captain Rahmat Shah and head coach Richard Pybus. Despite recent setbacks in ODI cricket, the visitors possess plenty of firepower through Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Rashid Khan, Azmatullah Omarzai and Fazalhaq Farooqi. Afghanistan have also dominated this rivalry in recent years, winning 18 of the 32 ODIs played against Ireland.
