Afghanistan vs Ireland, 3rd T20I is going on. And is about to lose the match. They need Ireland need 63 runs in 23 balls where they are standing at 93-8 position. Today Afghanistan played well and made good amount of runs which is 155 runs where Ibrahim Zadran made 72 runs from 51balls. Total runs wasn't that much higher to make but today Ireland facing touble cause they lost so many wickets in earlier. Gareth Delany, Curtis Campher, Harry Tector made some runs but don't think they could win today
Afghanistan team brilliant performance in thus game batting first scored 155/7. Ireland failed to chase the target even with Curtis Campher 28-run and Harey Tector innings but the Ireland team All Out in just 98 scores in the 18th over of the game. Ibrahim Zadran was the top scorer of the match by playing an aggressive innings of 72 runs unbeaten and won the series.The target was not big. But the performance of Ireland's batsmen is very erratic. With the help of Ibarahim Zadran's innings of 72 runs from 51 balls, Afghanistan team collected 155 runs. I would not say that Ireland's bowlers bowled badly. The performance of the bowlers was quite good. Interestingly, each of Ireland's bowlers took one wicket.
I was very disappointed with the performance of Ireland's batsmen.

- Paul Stirling (c) - 4
- Lorcan Tucker - 0
- Harry Tector - 16
- George Dockrell - 03
Each of these batsmen is quite experienced and talented. But none played well. They have the ability to play big innings. But their main problem is that no batsman's performance is regular. I would say the players need to be more confident. Otherwise, consistent good performance is not possible.[/list][/list]
