Ball-by-ball updates
Ireland vs Afghanistan commentary
- 44.5Tector to Rashid Khan, 2 runs — This time Rashid will get the runs he needs to finish it off. On a length once more, ball was at the stumps too and Rashid goes down on one knee and plays a strong-wristed shot out to deep square leg, where the fielder puts in a tumbling dive. By then, the batters have already run two and they seal Afghanistan's qualification to the World Cup!
- 44.4Tector to Rashid Khan, no run — Rashid down on one knee but it's another dot. He swipes it right to square leg
- 44.3Tector to Rashid Khan, no run — Rashid runs down the pitch and looks for a grand loft down the ground to finish it all off. But the ball catches the edge off his bat and goes out to midwicket
- 44.2Tector to Rashid Khan, FOUR — Sent out to deep backward point and it's a smart boundary played out quite late here
- 44.1Tector to Rashid Khan, no run — Tector on his knees with a last-gasp appeal, but the umpire won't budge on this one. Was lobbed up, then spun in. And yeah, huge inside edge off an attempted Rashid drive
- 43.6Moondra to Rashid Khan, 1 run — Now Rashid uses those supple wrists of his to swipe another pull out of the kitty, despite crouching out of the way and completely out of shape. Timed to long leg
- 43.5Moondra to Rashid Khan, FOUR — Rashid brings Afghanistan to the cusp of victory with this swipe! Was short and had no venom behind the shot. It's sent out to deep square leg off the middle of his bat
- 43.4Moondra to Yamin Ahmadzai, 1 run — Where's that come out... Won't help Ireland's cause, oh wait, not a no-ball it seems. Was a hiiiigh full toss that dripped right before it reached Ahmadzai, who drove it past the silly mid-off standing near the drive (with no helmet on, sigh)
- 43.3Moondra to Yamin Ahmadzai, no run — On the stumps and driven out to extra cover
- 43.2Moondra to Yamin Ahmadzai, no run — Back of a length and angled in, ball glides out to covers
- 43.1Moondra to Rashid Khan, 1 run — A little short, and Khan drives it out to deep extra cover and decides to turn over the strike once more
- 42.6Tector to Yamin Ahmadzai, no run — Ahmadzai's survived the over rather comfortably. Was tucked back to the bowler, despite being temtpingly lobbed up right at the stumps
- 42.5Tector to Yamin Ahmadzai, no run — On the pads and he tucks it out to midwicket
- 42.4Tector to Yamin Ahmadzai, no run — A peaceful defense back to the bowler once more
- 42.3Tector to Yamin Ahmadzai, no run — Length ball and driven back to the bowler. There's one fielder and a leg slip and a leg gully near the batter right now, btw.
- 42.2Tector to Rashid Khan, 1 run — Cut out to deep cover and Rashid gets off strike again
- 42.1Tector to Rashid Khan, no run — Length outside off, driven back to the bowler
- 41.6Adair to Rashid Khan, 1 run — Rashid now ducks and plays a swat out to deep square at the same time, the ball flies out off the middle of his bat
- 41.5Adair to Yamin Ahmadzai, 1 run — At the pads, and Ahmadzai plays a clueless flick straight to fine leg, where the diving fielder makes a mistake to let the ball right through his hands. It's collected near the deep fine leg ropes
- 41.4Adair to Yamin Ahmadzai, no run — Short ball and Ahmadzai gets in an awkward tangle, sends it out to point
- 41.3Adair to Rashid Khan, 1 run — Rashid goes for a booming drive down the ground once more, jogs to the other end
- 41.2Adair to Rashid Khan, no run — Full-ish at the stumps, and driven out to mid-on now
- 41.1Adair to Rashid Khan, FOUR — Rashid putting pedal to the metal here, finally, and he finally swats one all the way to the ropes. Was a short ball directed right at his ribs and he sends it out to cow corner, where the fielder's valiant dive can't pull it in
