Civil Service Cricket Club, Belfast, August 29 at 03:15 PM IST

In a low scoring affair, Ireland went down against the visitors in the first ODI at Belfast by 29 runs as they were unable to chase down a modest total of 227 runs set up by the visitors. the match was expected to be a thriller with both sides coming good, but things weren’t the same as expected as the match turned out to be a pale one.

Batting first, Afghanistan on the back of a defiant knock from Gulabdin Naib carve to 227 for the loss of 9 wickets in their 50 overs mark. Hashmatullah Shahidi also contributed valiantly with a knock of 54 runs from 82 deliveries which included 3 fours, the duo put on a much needed 77 for the fourth wicket before the former was out for a well-made 64 off 98 deliveries which included 6 fours.

Tim Murtagh was the pick of the bowlers as he got 4 scalps to his name after giving away just 31 runs in his quota of 10 overs, Boyd Rankin was his partner in crime as he bagged 3 for 44 in 10 overs. The chase did not go well for the Irishmen as they lost 3 wickets at the score of 53 runs, Andrew Balbirnie was the lone warrior with the bat as he was able to surpass the score of 50 and scored a much needed 55. Gary Wilson also contributed well with 38 to his name but it was not enough for the home side to pull off a victory.

A loss in the opening game meant that the Irishmen find themselves in a must-win situation here as the three-match series will see a decisive lead if Afghanistan wins this game. Ireland will look to battle the odds and avenge themselves in this match by shrugging off their abhorrent run of form.
