Afg vs Ire

Follow Ireland vs Afghanistan, 2nd T20I, Aug 11, Afghanistan tour of Ireland, 2022 with live Cricket score, ball by ball commentary updates on Cricbuzz.

17.3 Naveen-ul-Haq to Dockrell, 1 run, slower short ball, flat-batted to mid-off. It was a low-scoring affair today on a pitch which offered the bowlers some help, with Afghanistan posting just 122 after batting first. Word from behind the stumps was that it was doing enough to keep them going. Something I was successful at the World Cup in the UAE (bowling round the wicket to the right-handers). If you get wickets in the powerplay, have a 70 percent chance of winning. To keep Afghanistan to 120 is a very good effort. We'll try our best, work on mistakes with the bat.

Ireland vs Afghanistan, 2nd T20I Highlights: Ireland have taken 2-0 lead in five-match series.

Ireland vs Afghanistan, 2nd T20I Live Highlights: Ireland took a 2-0 lead over Afghanistan in a best-of-five T20 series after George Dockrell's 25 not out saw the hosts home for a five-wicket win in Belfast on Thursday. Afghanistan captain Mohammad Nabi chose to bat first after winning the toss, but the tourists left themselves too much to do with the ball after posting just 122-8 from their 20 overs. However, the loss of three wickets for 14 runs gave Afghanistan hope until Dockrell's 19-ball cameo got Ireland over the line with an over to spare. Ireland had lost eight successive T20 internationals prior to the series opener on Tuesday, but looked set to cruise home thanks to captain Andy Balbirnie's 46.

Afghanistan vs Ireland 2nd T20I Highlights: Ireland and Afghanistan played out a good match in the 1st T20I but Afghanistan won the match by 7 wickets.

Lorcan Tucker came after the fall of first wicket and scored a half century. Ireland have choked Afghanistan by removing their top five batters in the second T20I. However, AFG have a good bowling attack and Hashmatullah Shahidi is still out there. This should be an easy win unless Rashid Khan and other Afghanistan bowlers step up.
