[Mahdirakib]

Looks like Afghans will win today's ODI comfortably. In reply to Afghanistan 310, Ireland at the moment 99 for 3 after 23 overs. The openers of Afghanistan scored 150 runs in 31 overs and in remaining 19 overs Afghanistan batting scored 160 runs. Rahmanullah Gurbaz scored 6th ODI hundred in his 38 ODI appearances. Hashmatullah Shahidi played an entertaining innings toward the end by scoring 50 runs on just 33 balls. Ireland need some extraordinary performance to win this game.

Ireland has made a great comeback despite a poor start. Their bowlers had given a lot of runs in the last 10 overs actually, and they are going to loss the match now for not bowling well in the death overs. The partnership between Tector and Tucker helped them to keep the hope alive. They aren't going to win the match though. There will be hope for Ireland as long as Harry Tector in the crease.

Afghanistan Vs Ireland
[....]

First ODI match which is fighting among Afghanistan sqaud against Ireland squad and this match has reached at verge of finishing and already first batting inning was done by Afghanistan squad and in this inning, Afghanistan sqaud was played very impressively and collected a big defeating target total 310 scores. Ireland squad was not a good and strong strong and I also see their previous match and in these matches, Ireland also did not displayed good performance and lost most matches with bad innings. In this match, Ireland squad almost need 49 scores off 11 deliveries for emerging victory and this is impossible to complete this remaining target in low deliveries. Almost all batters of Afghanistan squad were displaying signature strength instead of these Azmatullah Omarzai, Gulbadin Naib  and Rahmat Shah. Rahmanullah Gurbaz completed his fantastic century in 117 scores and Ibrahim Zadran collected 60 scores off 93 deliveries.

In the first ODI match of Afghanistan vs Ireland, Afghanistan team is batting in the first innings and they are in great batting form. Today in this first ODI match two teams meet and it is going to be an interesting game between the two teams but the batting performance of Afghanistan today is really outstanding. Afghanistan's batsman Rahmatullah Gurubaz batted brilliantly as he scored 121 runs off 117 balls and scored a brilliant century. Moreover, Afghanistan's batsman Ibrahim Zardan has also done an amazing batting. The scores that have been collected at the moment I think are too big for Afghanistan and Ireland will not be able to meet this target. At the moment Afghanistan's score is 249 runs 4 wickets 45 overs Afghanistan team may be able to score 300 plus runs till the last minute.

Afghanistan's opening duo Ibrahim Zadran and Rahmanullah Gurbaz batted very well against Ireland. Afghanistan team managed to collect 310 runs due to the responsible batting of Ibrahim Zadran and Rahmanullah Gurbaz. Today's match Rahmanullah Gurbaz played responsible batting Rahmanullah Gurbaz got out with 111 runs off 117 balls. Going into bat against a target of 311 runs given by Afghanistan, Ireland's batsmen are under a lot of pressure after losing 2 wickets at the start. The way Ireland's batsmen are batting looks like they are going to lose the match against Afghanistan by a huge margin of runs.

Gurbaz is the best performer of the Afghanistan team, they managed to win because of their long performance keeping the wicket under control. But in comparison, the Ireland team did not perform well in bowling, the Afghanistan team took advantage of this opportunity and collected a total of 310 runs. Afghanistan team managed to win mainly due to good performance in power play. But the players of Ireland team Harry Tector and Lorcan Tucker performed well but other players did not do well.  Due to which the Ireland team was able to lose very easily.

It's true that Ireland might not win the match because they didn't bowl well at the end. But we should recognize the team's fighting spirit for coming back after a tough start. The partnership between Tector and Tucker gives hope to Ireland. As long as players like Harry Tector are playing Ireland still has a chance. That was the first match of the series we have two more matches so let's see what will Ireland do in these matches.

Afghanistan's opening duo Ibrahim Zadran and Rahmanullah Gurbaz batted very well against Ireland. Afghanistan team managed to collect 310 runs due to the responsible batting of Ibrahim Zadran and Rahmanullah Gurbaz. Today's match Rahmanullah Gurbaz played responsible batting Rahmanullah Gurbaz got out with 111 runs off 117 balls. Going into bat against a target of 311 runs given by Afghanistan, Ireland's batsmen are under a lot of pressure after losing 2 wickets at the start. The way Ireland's batsmen are batting looks like they are going to lose the match against Afghanistan by a huge margin of runs.

Ibrahim Zadran and Gurbaz excelled in the opening partnership, the pair's 150-run stand gave the team a boost as Afghanistan managed to score 300+. Gurubaz completed his sixth career century and his innings of 111 runs played a major role in the team's team score. Shahidi also played an important role for the team with a 33-ball 50 at the last of the innings. Ireland batting with a target of 311 runs,  Ireland's top order batsmen dismissed within 34 runs by Fazalhaq Farooqi and Azmatullah Omarzai. Currently Ireland's team score is 111/3, 24.1 overs. Tucker and Tector try to take the team forward in a fourth wicket partnership. REQ7.74 is gone, run rate pressure is mounting. If this continues, the match will go in favor of Afghanistan.

Ireland's batsmen were under a lot of pressure after losing 3 wickets in the beginning to bat against the target of 311 runs given by Afghanistan. However, Harry Tector and Lorcan Tucker batted responsibly for Ireland, Ireland was able to score 275 runs in the allotted 50 overs due to their responsible batting. Harry Tector batted very well and got out with 138 runs off 147 balls. But Afghanistan bowlers need to bowl more responsibly because maybe I thought Afghanistan will beat Ireland by a huge margin of runs but must credit Ireland batsmen because they batted very well to score 275 runs in allotted 50 overs. If Ireland's front row batsmen could have scored good runs then maybe Ireland could have won the match against Afghanistan.

It's true that Ireland might not win the match because they didn't bowl well at the end. But we should recognize the team's fighting spirit for coming back after a tough start. The partnership between Tector and Tucker gives hope to Ireland. As long as players like Harry Tector are playing Ireland still has a chance. That was the first match of the series we have two more matches so let's see what will Ireland do in these matches.

The performance from Harry Tector and Lorcan Tucker bodes well for the future of the Irish cricket. Tector got himself to 138, but Tucker got out before he could reach triple digits. Both the players are in their 20s, and since they are from the Republic of Ireland (and not from the Northern Ireland), there is a lower chance that the England selectors would poach on them. But bowling still needs a lot of improvement. Mark Adair performed so well in the test series, but he leaked plenty of runs yesterday.

Harry Tector and Lorcan Tucker led the way when Ireland were three wickets down after scoring 34 runs. For the fourth wicket, they both scored 173 runs off 173 balls. When Ireland were 207 runs, Lorcan Tucker was dismissed by Farooqi, and this wicket is the turning point of the match. Had Lorcan Tucker not been out, the situation of the match could have been different. Later, the match went out of their control as no batsman could keep up with Harry Tector for long. However, a win against Ireland today brought relief to the Afghanistan camp after losing three consecutive ODI matches with Sri Lanka. Afghanistan took a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.

However, in the end, the Afghanistan team got a comfortable victory perhaps after a long time. Afghanistan's recent poor performance may have left many cricket fans in despair but now they have come out of despair.In the first ODI match between Afghanistan and Ireland Afghanistan batted first and put up a strong score along with some excellent batting against Ireland. However it is not the bad batting that the Ireland team did when they came down to bat against the given target in Afghanistan they lost by only 35 in a high voltage match.

Afghanistan won the match quite comfertably but a good fight from Ireland side after losing 3 wickets in 10 overs when score was just 34 runs. Harry Tector and Lorcan Tucker both had a partnership of 173 runs, Harry Tector made 138 while Lorcan Tucker got out after scoring 85 run on 76 balls. Once Lorcan Tucker got out wickets start falling once again. Harry Tector kept frightening till last over and was the last batsmen to depart.

Afghanistan won the match by 35 runs against Ireland at Sharjah. The target was too much for Ireland as they lost 3 wickets inside the powerplay on just 34 runs. Harry Tector and Lorcan Tucker almost took the game away from Afghanistan with their partnership of 173 runs. Apart from these two, no other batter was able to score in double digits. A slight support from one or two batters might have changed the complexion of the game. Fazalhaq Farooqi bowled beautifully and took 4 wickets. The upcoming ODI matches of the series will be interesting to watch.

However, Afghanistan's target of 311 runs gave Ireland a fighting performance as if Ireland's opening pair could have scored a little better, Ireland would have won the match against Afghanistan. Bowling didn't do so well compared to Afghanistan batsmen so Afghanistan players must keep in mind that they have to bowl better against Ireland if they don't bowl well against Ireland then the match can go by accident so.

Yes you are right I agree that Afghanistan batted very well in the first ODI match against Ireland giving them a competitive target of 311 runs. However, I believe that the focus should also be on improving their bowling performance in order to secure a win against Ireland in future matches. It is important for Afghanistan's players to maintain a balance between their batting and bowling skills in order to consistently perform well in matches. Overall, both teams showed a strong performance in the match and it will be interesting to see how Afghanistan improves their bowling in the upcoming matches.

If Afghanistan's openers perform well, their chances of winning the match will greatly improve. In the first ODI against Ireland, Afghanistan scored 310/5 in 50 overs. Ireland's batters put up a strong fight but fell short by 35 runs. This was due to Afghanistan's bowlers conceding too many runs. Harry Tector's impressive batting caught my attention. Both teams seem evenly matched, capable of winning on their day. However, if Afghanistan wants to secure the series in the next match, they need to improve their bowling, or the outcome could be on Ireland favor.

It's true that Ireland might not win the match because they didn't bowl well at the end. But we should recognize the team's fighting spirit for coming back after a tough start. The partnership between Tector and Tucker gives hope to Ireland. As long as players like Harry Tector are playing Ireland still has a chance. That was the first match of the series we have two more matches so let's see what will Ireland do in these matches.

But bowling still needs a lot of improvement. Mark Adair performed so well in the test series, but he leaked plenty of runs yesterday.

After conceding 310 runs I was not expecting performance like this from them specially as they lost early wicket's situation was clearly indicating they will be lost by huge deficit but Harry Tector and Lorcan Tucker done good partnership and bring their team back into match which is impressive job from these youngsters but still they needed more games in white-ball which can bring good improvement in quality and performance which is important for them and the game as well.

Afghanistan which is currently facing some problems are also having good performance and their top order perform well which give them good foundation for having huge target, but now their bowling is also not good as we have them in ODI world cup where they destroy big teams hopefully things will be back to normal for better future of their game.

Today is the second ODI match between Afghanistan and Ireland. Afghanistan outstanding performance in the first ODI match winning by 35 runs and leading the series by 1-0. In this match the Player of the Match Rahmanullah Gurbaz playing very outclassed cricket scored 121 runs and helped the team to cross 300 plus. Ireland batter Harry Tector performed well and scored 138 but didn't win the match for Ireland. Ireland needs to improve its bowling unit to win the 2nd match and level the series by 1-1.

I think todays match between Afghanistan and Ireland will be very exciting. Afghanistan did really well in the first match especially Rahmanullah Gurbaz who scored a century. They scored over 300 runs showing how strong and determined they are. Harry Tector from Ireland played very well in the match but his great batting was not able to help his team win. Ireland must work on their bowling to have a better chance of winning the series. In cricket, Today match is a chance for Ireland to show how good they are at both batting and bowling. It will be interesting to see if Ireland can win the second match and tie the series.

Yes, Ireland's bowling line needs to improve if they want to win today. Ireland's top order batsmen could not do well in the first match, Lorcan Tucker and Harry Tector both batted well, besides no other batsmen could perform well. So both Ireland's batting and bowling lines need to be improved today. However, if I had to make a prediction for today's match, I would put Afghanistan ahead. I think Afghanistan will win today and win the series. But let's see if Ireland can perform well and level the series 1-1.

Today the second ODI match will start between Afghanistan vs Ireland, as the first ODI match was won by Afghanistan team by a huge margin. The difference between the two teams was 35 runs but the number of wickets fell was higher for Ireland. The game of cricket is essentially about keeping wickets for long periods of time, a strategy Ireland team could not sustain due to which they lost. So which team can win today, please comment?

We can't predict exactly which team will win today's game. The team that will play well in the field game will win their victory today. We saw in the previous match i.e. first ODI match Afghanistan team beat Ireland by 35 runs. Similarly, in a test match before that, Ireland again defeated the Afghanistan team. Today Afghanistan vs Ireland will be the second ODI out of the three ODI matches, currently Afghanistan have won the ODI match and they are leading by 1-0. Afghanistan will have a lot of confidence in this match as they won the first ODI match and will try their best to beat Ireland in the second ODI match as well to win the ODI series as they have already lost the Test series to Ireland.

Ireland is not good at cricket so it is doubtful how well Ireland can play against Afghanistan. In the first match Afghanistan won the match by 35 runs but this time I think Afghanistan will win the match by more margin of runs or wickets. Afghanistan is a very popular face in the game of cricket.  And they play very well. Ireland is not very good at playing cricket. so they cannot perform well. i think Afghanistan will win Again
