ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2019 Match 24 England Vs Afghanistan
Afghanistan 314 (Rahmat 98, Asghar 67) and 149 against 3 (Rahmat 76, Ihsanullah 65 *) defeated Ireland 172 (Murtagh 54, Ahmadzai 3-41, Nabi 3-36) and 288 (Balbirnie 82, O'Brien 56, Rashid 5-82, Ahmadzai 3-52) through seven wickets
Rahmat Shah missed a taste of history in the first few runs, but was monumental in the second, scoring 76 as Afghanistan recorded its first Test victory, 277 days after its debut in the format. It was their first game since that start, but they did the shopping - the first pursuit of more than 125 in India since 2012-13 - cleverly the fourth morning. Ireland, also in its second test, repulsed Ihsanullah during the third day of the day and was no closer to showing a fight. The second half of Rahmat's match was played in a century with the first match, Ihsanullah, who defeated another 65, while Afghanistan sealed the win with seven wickets. checkout ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2019 Match 24 England Vs Afghanistan
Ireland was frugal at first, as it had been Sunday night, but not too threatening. The slow pace was more related to the drummers' vigilance than to the surface, which was visibly serene for a sub-continental launch of the fourth day. Ireland's method, once again, was to invite Tim Murtagh and George Dockrell to play straight lines on a very steep pitch, but the absence of any lateral movement favored Afghanistan.
Yet there was a nervous violin from Ihsanullah at the beginning of the game that could have made the pursuit difficult. Shyly touching a ball in a loop, he struck a low chip against Stuart Thompson, but the seamstress was completely wrong. An easy catch at breast height was made more complicated than necessary because he jumped off the ground and ended up catching it; his wide-eyed disbelief suggested that he was not hiding it in the background.
There were no Rahmat nerves. Where both players were ultra-defensive on Sunday, Rahmat gave himself permission to look for points. This is the theme he chose in the morning, although the top priority was to stay as low as possible to protect his stumps. From time to time, he stretched out his arms to roll, which paid off in both Murtagh and Stuart Thompson, the only ones with the slightest pace to allow such decadence. The result was boundaries behind the square, but a beautiful driveway through an extra blanket in particular stood out. He arrived at the 28th end, while Afghanistan was still 52 years old for 1, crawling along: an imperiously upward punch against Thompson that marked the start of the attack on Afghanistan.
