Player of the Series

Rahmanullah Gurbaz

Batsman	R	B	4s	6s	SR
Rahmanullah Gurbaz	51	53	7	1	96.22
c & b Andy McBrine 18 OUT! TAKEN! Rahmanullah Gurbaz has gifted his wicket away and he knows it. His expression shows it. Tossed up, outside off. Gurbaz goes back and punches it to the left of Andy McBrine who dives and holds onto it. Great catch and Ireland have the big wicket. 85/3 52.83% DotBall 47.17% Scoring Shots 6 Ball per Boundary
Ibrahim Zadran	22	31	3	0	70.96
c Curtis Campher b Barry McCarthy 10.5 OUT! GONE! Barry McCarthy bangs it short and angles it on middle, Zadran pulls but was late on it, top edges it to mid on where Curtis Campher holds onto it. Zadran didn't look at his best. 62/1 64.52% DotBall 35.48% Scoring Shots 10 Ball per Boundary
Rahmat Shah	4	9	0	0	44.44
c Lorcan Tucker b Mark Adair 13.4 OUT! GONE! Mark Adair strikes. A length ball, around 5th stump line. Shah plays all over it, tries to defend without much foot moment and it takes the edge and the keeper gobbles it up. 73/2 66.67% DotBall 33.33% Scoring Shots - Ball per Boundary
Hashmatullah Shahidi C	69	103	4	0	66.99
lbw b Mark Adair 45.2 OUT! LBW! Massive, massive wicket this! What a time to get it. Shahidi shuffles across! This is full and angling on middle, from around the wicket. Shahidi fails to flick and gets hit on the pads. An appeal and up goes the finger. Even 250 looks uncertain now. 207/7 50.49% DotBall 49.51% Scoring Shots 25 Ball per Boundary
Azmatullah Omarzai	4	9	0	0	44.44
run out (Harry Tector / Andy McBrine) 21.4 OUT! RUN OUT! Omarzai goes! Afghanistan are losing apart. Flat and on off, Hashmatullah Shahidi drops it to point, Omarzai wants a quick single but is sent back from a point where he can't make it back. Harry Tector throws it to Andy McBrine who makes no mistake. 96/4 55.56% DotBall 44.44% Scoring Shots - Ball per Boundary
Mohammad Nabi	48	62	3	0	77.41
c Harry Tector b Theo van Woerkom 42.4 OUT! Just when it was time to change the gears, Nabi falls. Good time for a wicket you feel. Too full and on off, Nabi fails to power it well and hits it straight to long on where Harry Tector takes it. He goes on 48. 193/5 41.94% DotBall 58.06% Scoring Shots 20 Ball per Boundary
Ikram Alikhil Wk	2	4	0	0	50
b Harry Tector 44 OUT! BOWLED! The last delivery gave a lot of confidence to Tector. Flighted, very full and on middle, Ikram Alikhil tries to flick this away but misses and it rolls past his blade and onto the stumps. 202/6 50% DotBall 50% Scoring Shots - Ball per Boundary
Nangeyalia Kharote	10	8	1	0	125
c Lorcan Tucker b Barry McCarthy 47 OUT! TAKEN! Another one goes. Barry McCarthy goes very full and outside off, Kharote throws his bat out but just edges it to the keeper who makes no mistake to his left. 219/8 25% DotBall 75% Scoring Shots 8 Ball per Boundary
AM Ghazanfar	5	8	0	0	62.50
b Mark Adair 47.4 OUT! BOWLED! Mark Adair gets his third. Very full and around off, tails in. AM Ghazanfar swings across the line and misses and it crashes the stumps. 221/9 62.5% DotBall 37.5% Scoring Shots - Ball per Boundary

Batsman	R	B	4s	6s	SR
Andy Balbirnie	1	8	0	0	12.50
c Ikram Alikhil b Fazalhaq Farooqi 2.2 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Balbirnie goes. A length ball, outside off, slanting in. Balbirnie wasn't fully tuned in to play this, gets his bat across but edges it to the keeper who makes no mistake. Excellent start by the hosts. 4/1 87.5% DotBall 12.5% Scoring Shots - Ball per Boundary
Paul Stirling C	50	53	4	2	94.33
c AM Ghazanfar b Mohammad Nabi 17.3 OUT! TAKEN! Nabi gets Stirling! Massive wicket. Fifty and out for Paul and he has gifted his wicket here. This is tossed up on off. Stirling steps out and looks to go over mid off but does not get the elevation he wanted. It goes to mid off. The fielder leaps and takes it nicely. 77/2 56.6% DotBall 43.4% Scoring Shots 8 Ball per Boundary
Curtis Campher	43	63	5	1	68.25
c Ikram Alikhil b Nangeyalia Kharote 24.4 OUT! GONE! The set batter goes. Ireland in big big problem. First Lorcan Tucker and now Campher. Two poor shots! This is well down the leg side. Campher goes onto tease this one, tries to flick but gets a faint edge to the keeper who makes no mistake. 101/5 68.25% DotBall 31.75% Scoring Shots 10 Ball per Boundary
Harry Tector	3	14	0	0	21.42
lbw b Mohammad Nabi 21.5 OUT! LBW! That looked plumb! Tossed up on middle, no turn and Harry Tector fails to hit across the line. An appeal for LBW and up goes the finger. The spinners taking control of the game. 93/3 78.57% DotBall 21.43% Scoring Shots - Ball per Boundary
Lorcan Tucker Wk	3	7	0	0	42.85
c Nangeyalia Kharote b Mohammad Nabi 23.3 OUT! Nabi gets his third! Tossed up on middle. Lorcan Tucker just chips it to mid on where Nangeyalia Kharote doesn't even move an inch. Poor shot! Maybe hold a bit in the surface. Campher keeps losing partners. 101/4 57.14% DotBall 42.86% Scoring Shots - Ball per Boundary
George Dockrell	1	8	0	0	12.50
b Nangeyalia Kharote 26.1 OUT! OH WOW! JUST WOW! Tossed up on middle, angling in and it straightens up off the deck. Dockrell looks to push this away but plays inside the line and it goes past his blade and crashes the stumps. 102/6 87.5% DotBall 12.5% Scoring Shots - Ball per Boundary
Mark Adair		5	0	0	0
lbw b Nangeyalia Kharote 27 OUT! LBW! Afghanistan are wrapping it up quickly. Tossed up, around off, slants it in and skids on as well. Adair goes back to defend this but misses and gets hit on the pads. Just an appeal and the finger is raised. Hashmatullah Shahidi is pumped up. You rarely see him show such emotions. 103/7 100% DotBall 0% Scoring Shots - Ball per Boundary
Andy McBrine		9	0	0	0
b Mohammad Nabi 27.5 OUT! BOWLED! What is happening? Looks like a video game is going on! Flighted, length and on middle, comes with the angle. McBrine fails to get his bat down quickly and it rolls and hits the stumps. Does not look real at all. 103/8 100% DotBall 0% Scoring Shots - Ball per Boundary
Barry McCarthy	8	18	0	1	44.44
b Nangeyalia Kharote 35 OUT! BOWLED! Nangeyalia Kharote has the last laugh! An arm ball on middle, Barry McCarthy looks to punch it away but misses and it crashes the stumps. Afghanistan win by 117 runs. 119/10 83.33% DotBall 16.67% Scoring Shots 18 Ball per Boundary
Graham Hume	5	19	0	0	26.31
b Mohammad Nabi 33.4 OUT! BOWLED! Nabi gets his fifth! Champion bowler. Tossed up, around off, Hume lunges forward to defend but gets beaten on the outside edge and it crashes the stumps. Can he finish his spell with one more? 111/9 78.95% DotBall 21.05% Scoring Shots - Ball per Boundary
