Afghanistan

Batting R B 4s 6s SR
Mohammad Shahzad (W)c Kevin O'Brien b Andy McBrine 101 88 16 0 114.77
31.5
A McBrine to M Shahzad, OUT! Shahzad does not stay long after getting to his hundred. Andy shows his guts and tosses it up on middle and off, Shahzad comes down the track and looks to go over the bowler's head. He does not get the timing on it and the ball goes towards long on. Kevin O'Brien runs to his left and takes the second catch in the over. Two wickets in the over for McBrine. But end of a brilliant knock from Shahzad though he would have loved to stay there longer and continued his innings.
Noor Ali Zadranc Boyd Rankin b Mark Adair 5 10 1 0 50
3.1
M Adair to Ali Zadran, OUT! That will be the first wicket. Adair strikes. Full length ball on off, it is not the greatest of deliveries. Ali Zadran looks to hit it over mid on but does not get the elevation. He ends hitting it to the right of Boyd Rankin there. He makes no mistake and takes an easy catch. The visitors had gotten off to a good start but the Irish now will be looking to pull things back with the help of this wicket.
Rahmat Shahc Kevin O'Brien b Andy McBrine 62 90 7 1 68.89
31.1
A McBrine to R Shah, OUT! Rahmat Shah holes out. A very crucial breakthrough for Ireland they have finally broken the partnership. McBrine flights it up on middle and off, Shah looks to clear the man at long on. He does not time it well and it goes right to the fielder there. Kevin O'Brien keeps his eyes on the ball and takes a comfortable catch.
Asghar Afghanc Andy McBrine b Paul Stirling 14 20 1 0 70
37.4
P Stirling to A Afghan, OUT! Afghan has thrown it away! He was settling down well but goes for a big shot over long on suddenly to this flat one outside off. He just gets height and not the distance. The ball carries to long on where McBrine takes a really safe catch with soft hands. Afghanistan losing their way here. This might also please them to a certain extent though as this is the third wicket for a spinner today out of the four to fall.
Hashmatullah Shahidic Tim Murtagh b Mark Adair 47 48 4 1 97.92
49.2
M Adair to H Shahidi, OUT! Taken! A short ball, around off, Shahidi looked to pull but mistimed it towards long on. Simple catch for the fielder there.
Gulbadin Naib (C)c Paul Stirling b Boyd Rankin 3 11 0 0 27.27
40.3
B Rankin to G Naib, OUT! Naib departs now! This has been a stunning comeback from Ireland so far in this innings. A short length ball on middle, Gulbadin looks to pull it but gets a top edge. The ball goes really high in the air. Stirling from mid-wicket comes a little ahead and pouches it safely. Rankin gets his first wicket and a timely one again for the hosts. The batsmen were initially going to cross but the non-striker decides to run back as he was worried of being run out in case of a dropped catch. Eventually was not a drop though.

49.6
M Adair to R Khan, OUT! Caught. A wicket to end the innings. A length ball, around off, Rashid plays a short-arm jab, aiming to get it wide of long on but he does not quite get it right. Lorcan Tucker, the substitute, takes a few steps to his right and grabs the catch calmly. AFGHANISTAN FINISH ON 305/7!

Paul Stirlingc Rashid Khan b Gulbadin Naib 50 56 4 2 89.29
17.5
G Naib to P Stirling, OUT! Caught! The man in form, Paul Stirling is out of here. The visitors are happy and why not? The Afghanistan skipper hits the deck hard and bowls it on a length on middle and off, Stirling looks to pull it over the man at deep square leg but does not get the distance. It goes straight to Rashid Khan in the deep. He makes no mistake and Najibullah Zadran will be a happy man as he had dropped him earlier in the innings.
James McCollumc Gulbadin Naib b Dawlat Zadran 3 16 0 0 18.75
6.4
D Zadran to J McCollum, OUT! A lazy shot from McCollum! Length delivery pitching outside off, the batsman looking to stroke it over mid off, doesn't connect well. The fielder at mid off didn't have to move an inch to take the easiest of the catches. The batsman's poor run continues! Ireland lose their first wicket.
Andy Balbirniec Mohammad Shahzad b Gulbadin Naib 20 28 3 0 71.43
15.6
G Naib to A Balbirnie, OUT! That has taken a feather on its way through! A length ball outside off from Naib, Balbirnie looks to drive this through the covers but the ball takes a feather off the inside half of the bat. It carries to the keeper who catches it safely coming ahead. A breakthrough just at the right time for Afghanistan, this partnership was just beginning to bloom.
William Porterfield (C)c Rahmat Shah b Aftab Alam 19 32 0 0 59.38
26.1
A Alam to W Porterfield, OUT! The skipper departs and with that the slight hope Ireland had is also fading away. Aftab bends his back and bowls it short. Porterfield goes for the pull and also times it well too but to his dismay he hits it too close to the fielder. Rahmat Shah at deep mid-wicket takes a very good catch running to his right.
Kevin O'Brienc Asghar Afghan b Gulbadin Naib 12 12 2 0 100
21.5
G Naib to K O'Brien, OUT! What a catch! Good length ball on off and middle. It is not short enough to pull but Kevin still goes for it. He cannot get under the ball and it goes towards mid on. For a moment it looks like it will fall short of the fielder there but Asghar Afghan dives across to his right and takes a brilliant catch. Ireland in deep waters here, they have lost 4 wickets and they need something special from their skipper here if they want to win this game.
Gary Wilson (W)c Rashid Khan b Gulbadin Naib 34 53 2 0 64.15
41.2
G Naib to G Wilson, OUT! That is it. Wilson refused to take the single off the previous ball but that does not matter much as he departs the very next ball. Naib gets his 6th of the game. Fuller ball on off, Wilson hits it uppishly to short mid-wicket. Rashid Khan makes no mistake and takes an easy catch. Afghanistan win the game comprehensively by 126 runs.
Andy McBrinerun out (Noor Ali Zadran) 1 6 0 0 16.67
27.2
R Khan to A McBrine, OUT! That was a suicidal run out! A flatter one on off, bounces really high. McBrine misses the pushed shot and the ball goes off the keeper's glove towards the leg side. The first slip fielder runs towards the ball which rolls and stops near square leg. Meanwhile, the striker, Andy who was ball-watching was forced to run by his partner, Wilson. Noor Ali Zadran throws the ball to Rashid who catches the ball and removes the stump before AM can make his crease. This is absolute hara-kiri by the hosts!
Mark Adairc Najibullah Zadran b Rahmat Shah 8 13 1 0 61.54
31.2
R Shah to M Adair, OUT! Adair holes out in the attempt to go big! A flatter leg spinner outside off, Mark looks to clear long off but ends up hitting it straight to Najibullah Zadran in the deep. Ireland are going downhill here. Afghanistan coasting to a huge win meanwhile as Rahmat Shah, the part-timer picks up his first wicket.
Barry McCarthylbw b Gulbadin Naib 18 22 3 0 81.82
37.3
G Naib to B McCarthy, OUT! Big appeal from the bowler and the keeper, the LBW has been given. A length ball on middle and cutting in to the batsman, McCarthy misses the ball and gets hit on the pads in front of leg stump. The finger goes up and that is the end of this partnership worth 25 runs. Afghanistan 2 away now and 200 looks really out of reach now for the hosts. Naib meanwhile picks up his fourth wicket! What a bowling spell this has been from the skipper.
Tim Murtaghc Asghar Afghan b Gulbadin Naib 0 3 0 0 0
37.6
G Naib to Tim Murtagh, OUT! Five for Naib! Stand up and applaud this performance from the Afghan skipper! A length ball outside off, Murtagh looks to hit it over mid off but as he plays the shot, one hand comes off the handle and the ball flies meekly towards mid off where Afghan moves slightly to his right and takes the simplest of catches. This game is finishing quickly...
