Ireland vs Afghanistan 2nd ODI 2026 LIVE Streaming: The second ODI effectively becomes the opening match of the five-game series after persistent rain washed out the first ODI without a ball being bowled. With the series still locked at 0-0, both Ireland and Afghanistan will be eager to begin their ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2027 qualification pathway with a positive result.
Ireland head into the contest with confidence following their historic 2-0 T20I series triumph over India. Paul Stirling’s side will look to carry that momentum into the ODI format, with Harry Tector, Andrew Balbirnie, Curtis Campher and Mark Adair expected to shoulder the responsibility. Young left-arm pacer Jai Moondra could also make his long-awaited ODI debut.
Afghanistan, meanwhile, started a new era under captain Rahmat Shah and head coach Richard Pybus. The visitors will rely on star performers Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Rashid Khan, Azmatullah Omarzai and Fazalhaq Farooqi as they look to maintain their impressive recent record against Ireland, having won 18 of the 32 ODIs played between the two sides.
