Afghanistan will be very happy with this total. They started off strong, but Delany dented their progress with a double-strike. It looked like they slowed down for a bit but Najibullah Zadran resumed from where he left off from the previous match and scored a 22-ball half-century. Rashid Khan partnered well with him and brought up a 31 off 10. Can Ireland chase this down? Deiva will take you through the rest of the game.
