IRE vs AFG Live Cricket Score

3.2 OUT! TAKEN! Two in two for Gareth Delany. This is tossed up full and around off, Hazratullah Zazai goes down and slogs it hard towards the deep mid-wicket fence. Unfortunately for him, he hits it straight into the hands of Barry McCarthy. Afghanistan are losing their way a bit. 38/3

2.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Rahmanullah Gurbaz's fiery little cameo comes to an end and Ireland will be very much relieved here. Barry McCarthy goes short and angles this one into the body. The ball rises up well and Gurbaz gets completely cramped for room. Gurbaz tries to hook it away over short fine leg but the ball seems to have come off the gloves or the shoulder of the bat. It lobs towards Mark Adair at short fine leg and he makes no mistake. 37/1

3.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Straight to the man and Ibrahim Zadran will be kicking himself. A real long hop from Gareth Delany to start off his spell. It is around middle and leg, Zadran rocks back and pulls it without much timing. The ball goes straight down the throat of the man at the mid-wicket fence and George Dockrell takes an assured catch. It is Dockrell's 50th catch in T20I cricket and he becomes the 7th man to achieve this feat. Delany's golden arm continues to impress. 38/2

10.4 OUT! TAKEN! A good take in the deep from Josh Little and Najibullah Zadran departs after a sensational knock. This is bowled into the pitch by Mark Adair and angling it across the left-hander. Zadran stays deep and tries to muscle it over the mid-wicket fence but gets hurried on. The ball goes high and towards wide long on where Little settles under it to take the catch. 126/6

5 OUT! CAUGHT! The wickets keep tumbling and it is the skipper this time who has to walk back. Fionn Hand changes things up and bowls a slower ball, on a good length and angles it into the body. Mohammad Nabi backs away and tries to force it over covers but the ball goes off the higher part of the bat and over extra cover. Andy Balbirnie over there just leaps up and takes a comfortable catch. Ireland making a strong comeback here. 55/4

7.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Gareth Delany picks up his third wicket and Azmatullah Omarzai has to depart as well. Delany drags this one down over middle and leg, Omarzai goes deep in his crease and tries to force the lofted shot over the mid-wicket fence. He though gets no timing on it and ends up skying it just over the mid-wicket region. George Dockrell runs in from the deep and takes it with both hands. Another timely wicket for Ireland then. 76/5

3.3 OUT! Well caught near the fence! Fareed Ahmad grabs the prized scalp. He bangs it in short, around middle, Stirling pulls it with all his power, connects well also but it's a flat hit. The shot lacks elevation and Rashid Khan takes a sharp catch near the fence at deep square leg. Superbly judged. 94 needed off 45 balls. 39/2

1.4 OUT! CAUGHT! After spending 14 runs off his first three balls, Azmatullah Omarzai has struck and taken revenge. Fuller in length and around middle, again the pace is sharp, Andy Balbirnie steps back to make room and attempts to blaze it through covers. He though only manages to slice it towards point where Ibrahim Zadran takes a simple catch. A 5-ball 15 in the context of this chase is a good contribution from the Irish skipper. 28/1

3.5 OUT! Tucker holes out! A poor shot selection from him, especially after losing Stirling in this over. It's on a length and outside off, Lorcan tries to heave it over the leg side but could not find the middle of his bat. It flies down to Najibullah Zadran at deep mid-wicket who takes a sitter. Ireland are on the back foot now. 40/3

6 OUT! CAUGHT! Another blow to Ireland. Full in length and outside off, Harry Tector walks across the stumps for the paddle shot but mistimes it completely. It flies behind to the keeper and Rahmanullah Gurbaz grabs the catch. They appeal and the finger goes up. Harry Tector is not impressed with the decision and argues with the umpire before returning. 70 needed off 30 balls. 63/4

7 OUT! LBW! Rashid Khan ends the over with a wicket and Ireland are falling apart here. Another wrong 'un from Rashid, on a length and turning in from around off. Gareth Delany walks across and exposes his stumps, trying to tuck mit fine on the legn side. Delany though misses the shot and gets pinged on the pads. Rashid appeals while tumbling over and the finger is raised. Afghanistan in complete control at the moment. 68/5

7.2 OUT! Plumb lbw! A low full toss, sharp in pace, Mark Adair gets across the stumps and tries to flick it on the leg side but misses. He is struck on the pads, they appeal and the finger goes up. That's dead in front. 69/6

7.3 OUT! TAKEN! Make it two in two for Naveen. He delivers it on a fuller length around off, Fionn Hand attempts for a reverse-batted shot but fails to middle it. Ends up hitting it off the bottom edge and it flies straight into the hands of Fareed Ahmad at short third man. Naveen-ul-Haq is on a hat-trick now. 64 needed off 21 balls and this game has slipped away fast from Ireland. 69/7

9 OUT! CAUGHT! Barry McCarthy connects this time but the connection is not good enough. Flatter through the air from Rashid, around off, Barry McCarthy stays back and sends it flying over mid off. Not enough power and it's a simple catch for Mohammad Nabi in the deep. 91/8

9.2 OUT! Simi Singh is run out for a diamond duck. A low full toss again, around off, Dockrell goes back and hammers it down to long on. They attempt for the second run again but the throw from the deep is accurate to the bowler who takes the bails off. Singh puts in a dive but to no avail. 94/9

11 OUT! Another run out, another diamond duck and that's all for Ireland. Afghanistan win by 27 runs to level the series 2-2 and have forced a decider. Quicker one, full and around middle, Dockrell hits it firmly towards mid on and sets off for a run. Meanwhile, Mohammad Nabi has released the throw and Little is slow to reach the crease and is run out at the striker's end. 105/10
