You are right We knew that Ireland's batting performance was good. The main weakness of their team was their bowling line-up. But in yesterday's match, the top order of Afghanistan was completely destroyed by Ireland's bowlers. Because of this, Afghanistan was badly defeated. Afghanistan players need to bat more responsibly. If Afghanistan's bowlers fail to bowl well in the next match, they will lose the series.
Afghanistan has better bowlers compared to Ireland, but the problem is that their strength is in spin bowling. And the pitches in Ireland (both in Belfast and Dublin) doesn't provide enough support for the spin bowlers. Previously they had some good pacers such as Dawlat Zadran, Hamid Hassan and Shapoor Zadran, but these players have retired from international cricket. The inexperienced players (such as Naveen-ul-Haq and Fazalhaq Farooqi) are unable to deliver consistent performances against top teams.
No doubt Afghanistan is very good team compare to Ireland but keep one thing in mind they can face dilemma in SENA with fast bowling and batting both are their weakest points, and they have no experience in both departments which needs to settle as soon as possible with just spinners and average batting you can't win against professional teams.
 
I was reading they have good domestic setup but sadly right now these are just going with T20 and ODI which is good, but they need some good investment for development and better results but in last few days we have few big concerns like USA drone attack and few suicided attackers which kill high profile Taliban's, so they have no positive chance for staying in good shape.

Ireland V Afghanistan

In the first two matches, Ireland batted to Afghanistan's target and won. And so, after winning the toss in today's match, Ireland's captain decided to field. If the bowlers of Ireland are able to bowl well like in the previous match, then Ireland will win today. But it looks like Afghanistan will win today. Today's match is do or die for Afghanistan. If they lose today's match, they will lose the series.

Ireland can play spin but the pitch is suitable for pacers I guess. In all Ireland has shown that it can fight & perform well with the big team, which they have shown recently in the concluded matches. Another reason is that Ireland has attained some crucial experience whereas Afghanistan has lacked it as they have not y7et played matches with teams like India and Newzealand.

Vaccinized.. immunity level is full.
The hosts played consistent cricket as well as taking home advantages. In the event that it is not possible to confirm the series by winning the next match, they will confirm it anyway since they have a decent attitude. While Ireland's batting attack is very good, their bowling attack impressed me in the 2nd T20I. Disciplined Irish bowling limits Afghans to just 122 runs! Due to Afghanistan's poor form, it is very possible that the host will seal the series by going 3-0 up the next game!
The Irish bowling is what had ruined the Afghan's chances to have a competitive game. Ireland always had a really good batting attack but the bowling used to be lacking. The pitch really helped the bowlers and the Irish took out the Afghan openers for just 2 runs between themselves. A good start like that was capitalized, later on. It is a 5 match series for T20. 3 to go. Afghanistan has to respond now, if they have any ambitions of winning the series.

What happened to Afghanistan? Such a horrible performance. If they had at least 140 runs on the board, then there was a chance. But target of 123 was too small. Ireland still struggled to reach their target, with Paul Stirling once again getting out cheaply. Harry Tector and Curtis Campher also disappointed. They managed to win the match, but not in a convincing manner. Anyway, for now Ireland will be relieved. They are having second consecutive win, after 5 successive defeats. They need to win the series now and for that they need one more win.

They either underestimated the Ireland team or were unable to settle in the Irish conditions. Excuses won't help and Afghanistan needs to perform in the remaining matches.

Today is the third T20 match between these two teams. Afghanistan has to win today's match to save the series otherwise Ireland will win the series today. Just a reminder this is not a 3 matches series but it is a 5 matches T20 series between both teams.

In my view, Ireland has won both matches by showing their capability. Afghanistan is playing with their strong squad. But Ireland has improved a lot too. Ireland players have played quite well in their recent series against India, New Zealand and South Africa. They hadn't won any match of those series though.

Ireland's players have made phenomenal progress. They fought hard against New Zealand in the last series. Unfortunately, they lost each match by a few runs margin. They didn't do anything wrong against Afghanistan. Ireland won both the matches. Their performance was stable. If they can continue this consistency, they will be ahead of teams like Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka in the next World Cup.
Ireland's players have really improved tremendously. We watched the previous matches and from here we could sense that they have really improved a lot.If they can perform better and work harder, they will be in a better position than other teams in this World Cup.
Ireland have generally performed very well at their own venue . Performed very well especially against New Zealand and South Africa, losing every match they competed in. But every player is performing very well against relatively less strong Afghanistan. So Ireland secured victory in the second match.
Agree with you that any team performs well in its own venue. It's not just Ireland. You can look at the position of Bangladesh where they are very strong at their own venue, but abroad they lost the series against Zimbabwe. Many such countries do well on their own ground.
Hope Afghanistan will try hard to bring their victory in the next match.

Now home team is leading by 2 - 0 in five matches series before world cup is good for them and these wins are going to help them for this main round against big teams tomorrow we are going to have third match of this series hopefully now Afghanistan try their best for having better result.

Ireland's bowling line-up is not strong, nor are they experienced enough. Even then, the batsmen of Afghanistan are not able to play well against this bowling line-up. Afghanistan's innings ended today with just 122 runs. If the batsmen continue the such bad performance, Afghanistan is going to lose the next match as well. Top order players need to bat more responsibly.
Several players from Afghanistan play in various franchise matches and their popularity is wide. But they are also unable to perform. But there is nothing surprising here. It is not possible to consistently perform well in cricket. If Ireland win the next match, the series will be fixed on behalf of them. Can we expect Afghanistan win the next match?

The fact is that Ireland lost all the matches against New Zealand and South Africa, despite having the home advantage. Some of the players (such as Harry Tector) played well, but Ireland failed overall as a team. They lost some close matches which they could have won. Considering this, I don't think that there are a lot of positives to take away from their series against NZ and SA. First and foremost, they need to improve their bowling skills. Poor bowling (both pace and spin) was the reason behind most of their defeats.

Not sure about this. IMO, they have consistently underperformed. This time they actually managed to win matches, and that should be a big relief for them. But in order to justify the increased fund allocation from the ICC, they need to win matches on a regular basis, and that too against strong teams. Winning matches against Zimbabwe and Afghanistan once is a while is not going to help for too long. The world cup is just a few months away. Their performance in Australia will be closely watched before the fund allocation for 2024-31 cycle.

Ireland is much superior then Afghanistan in this format as they have few players those are playing in English counties and have good experience in these situations with in last few matches they were doing amazing job without winning any match but suddenly with the arrival of Afghanistan fortune change for them, and they are doing good job specially with ball because they learn from their mistakes and now doing their best which is good for this game and Ireland.

Now home team is leading by 2 - 0 in five matches series before world cup is good for them and these wins are going to help them for this main round against big teams tomorrow we are going to have third match of this series hopefully now Afghanistan try their best for having better result.

The result on the Kuwait vs Bahrain T20 match happened through the super over. The scoring rate of Kuwait is quite high, and we don't know what to do, whether we should enjoy gambling or just spend on as a means of fun. Unexpected things were happening with bitcoin as well as other cryptocurrencies.

The favourite teams aren't winning the matches. Recently Bangladesh has lost T20 and ODI series against Zimbabwe. Now Afghanistan is in the bad situation against Ireland in the 5 match T20 series. Many people thought that Afghanistan will whitewash Ireland team. Surprisingly Ireland has won the first two matches, and they have high chance to win the series now.

Afghanistan vs Ireland

Afghanistan vs Ireland Today Afghanistan have saved 122 runs during this middle game. And with Ireland in a much better position, Afghanistan are much more likely to lose. But meanwhile Afghanistan players did not play well due to lack of skill. Afghanistan's wickets have fallen the most due to which their run rate is very low.

Ireland managed to win another close win against Afghanistan. That's two in a row for them.  Smiley
I would say that the credit of this win goes to the Ireland bowlers as they restrict them to a low total of 122 runs. 
Josh Little, Mark Adair. Curtis Campher  and Gareth Delany all of the bowlers took 2 wickets each in the match and did not let the Afghanistan batsmen to settle and play a normal game.

Ireland and Afghanistan were masterclass team among the bottom lineup. Both used to perform well and over the past few matches Ireland is stronger than Afghanistan. In specific the matches against South Africa and New Zealand were something big from Ireland. With that form the performance continues. Bahrain and Kuwait is playing a T20. The match is getting closer, and the winning probability of Bahrain have come down.
