Cricket News: Ireland VS Afghanistan, 3rd T20I - Catch all LIVE action 

Ireland already leads Afghanistan 2-0 after a five-wicket victory in Belfast on Thursday. Afghanistan has an opportunity to turn things around, and Ireland wants to win the T20 series in the third game.

Ireland eventually got a win and played brilliantly in the last minutes. In the T20I matches against India, South Africa, and New Zealand, captain Andrew Balbirnie struggled to score runs until he finally came through with the bat in hand. 

The performance of Lorcan Tucker has been the other plus for the hosts. He once more established his hitting prowess and served as an excellent asset for the team.

The home team would like to maintain their current momentum, while Mohammad Nabi's team would like to reverse the situation. 

In the first T20I, the side was rusted, and they could not fire simultaneously. However, the visitors have good batting and bowling capabilities. Nabi would be hoping the Rashid Khan and Zadran combination strikes.
