Afghanistan will take on Ireland in the fifth and final match of the ongoing five-match ODI series at the Civil Service Cricket Club in Belfast on Saturday, Aug. 15. Leading 3-0 after three completed matches, Afghanistan will be eager to maintain their dominant run and complete a 4-0 series win over the hosts.
After the opening fixture was washed out without a ball bowled, Afghanistan delivered brilliant performances in the next three matches. They secured a dominant 92-run win in the second ODI, followed by a tight three-wicket victory in the third match that sealed direct qualification for the 2027 ODI World Cup.
In the fourth match, Sediqullah Atal and Ibrahim Zadran's spectacular centuries propelled Afghanistan to a 42-run victory.
Ireland, meanwhile, want to mount a strong response to finish the series on a high. Experienced campaigners Andy Balbirnie and Curtis Campher, who showed exceptional form with a century and rapid half-century in the previous match, respectively, will lead the batting charge alongside skipper Paul Stirling.
