Ireland won the 2nd match of the T20 series against Afghanistan

The Ireland national team came up to the start of the T20 series against Afghanistan in terrible shape — the team lost 11 matches in a row in all formats. But the series with the Afghan team for the Irish is still very successful – the day before, Ireland won the 2nd match of the T20 series against Afghanistan.

The second T20 meeting between these teams ended with the triumph of the Ireland national team with a handicap of 5 wickets. Thus, Ireland now leads the series with Afghanistan with a score of 2-0. Recall that the Irish won the first match of this series with a handicap of 7 wickets.

After the second victory in the T20 series against Afghanistan, Heinrich Malan, the head coach of the Ireland national cricket team, shared his thoughts.

“We played another good match. Afghanistan is a tough opponent. Everyone can see that this series is taking place in a tight struggle. We managed to break a long series of defeats, and we hope we will be able to keep a good rhythm,” Malan said.

It should be noted that these victories over a strong Afghanistan are really very important for Ireland. In two months, Heinrich Malan’s team will begin its performance in the first group stage of the T20 World Cup in Australia.
