Ireland vs Afghanistan 5th ODI 2026 LIVE Streaming: Afghanistan have dominated the series after the opening ODI was abandoned due to rain, winning the next three matches to establish a 3-0 advantage. Having already booked their place in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2027, Rahmat Shah’s team will now target a clean sweep in the final ODI.
Ireland, meanwhile, will be hoping to finish the series on a positive note. The hosts produced a much-improved batting display in the fourth ODI while chasing 344, with Andrew Balbirnie scoring a century and Curtis Campher making a valuable contribution. Paul Stirling, Harry Tector and Cade Carmichael will be keen to make an impact in the final match.
Afghanistan will once again rely on their impressive bowling attack, with Rashid Khan and AM Ghazanfar expected to play important roles in the middle overs. Ghazanfar has been particularly economical during the series and will be looking to finish the tour strongly.
