Although Afghanistan got the favourable result in the first match, they need to rectify their middle-order woes. Four of the top-six batsmen weren’t able to reach double figures as Andy McBrine rattled their batting order with a five-wicket haul. Nevertheless, Gurbaz’s hundred and Rashid Khan’s quick-fire fifty guided Afghans to 287-9 while batting first. Chasing the challenging target, most Irish batsmen got starts, but only wicket-keeper Lorcan Tucker played a substantial 83-run knock. As a result, Ireland were restricted to 271-9 but they would be determined to settle the scores in the second match. As the upcoming game gets lined up, let’s look at the ideal fantasy team.
