Ireland eyeing maiden Test victory against battling Afghanistan | Cricket News – Times of India

[ad_1] NEW DELHI: Ireland positioned themselves strongly to secure their maiden Test victory in their eighth attempt despite facing a late resurgence from Afghanistan on the second day of their one-off Test in Abu Dhabi on Thursday.Resuming their innings at 100 for 4, trailing Afghanistan's initial effort by 55 runs, Ireland's middle and lower-order batsmen rallied, pushing their total to 263 all out and took a significant 108-run lead.Although Afghanistan stumbled to 38 for 2, raising the possibility of a two-day finish, a resilient partnership between captain Hashmatullah Shahidi and Rahmanullah Gurbaz, unbroken at 41, steered the nominal hosts to 134 for 3, thwarting Ireland's hopes for a swift conclusion."There was pressure but I kept it calm and simple...

[ad_1] NEW DELHI: The Indian T20 side will play a three-match series against Ireland in Malahide in August this year, the Ireland cricket board said in a release. Hardik Pandya-led Indian T20I team had played a two-match series last year at the same venue where the visitors won 2-0. "Irish cricket fans will be able to enjoy watching the world's number one T20 International side, India, when the Asian juggernauts return to Malahide for a three-match T20I series this August," Cricket Ireland said in its statement.However, with the 50-over World Cup in sight one wonders if the BCCI would risk playing Hardik in a series that will offer little or no context to India's preparation for the ODI World Cup in India.But the series, which is scheduled to be played from August 18 to 23, does mean a l...
