Scorer: Ranjith P | Commentator: Binoy George
Afghanistan win by 36 runs. They pick up 10 more points and makes a clean sweep of the series. As long as Stirling was in the crease, they had a chance, as soon as he fell, the gates opened and they succumbed.
William: "Sometimes it's easy to forget that Rashid Khan is only 22. Feels like he has been bamboozling Irish (and every other countries') batsmen for years. "
The Player of the Match is Rashid Khan.
The Player of the Series is Paul Striling.
Thanks for tuning in, It is good bye from Ranjith, Debayan and me, until next time.
