Ireland vs Afghanistan, Super Sixes Match 9 - Live Cricket Score, Commentary
Series: ICC World Cup Qualifiers, 2018 Venue: Harare Sports Club, Harare Date & Time: Mar 23, 09:30 AM LOCAL
Samiullah Shenwari 27(63)
44.5
Barry McCarthy to Shenwari, out Caught by Wilson!! He's got his man. And he is pumped. It took him 14 runs to buy a wicket. However, it might be a blessing in disguise for Afghanistan. Shenwari was going nowhere with his innings. Having played more than 60 balls, he had scored only 27 and was finding it difficult to rotate strike, let alone the big hits. Full delivery outside off, Shenwari crouches low and slices the drive to backward point, where Wilson was really close-in. Good low grab from him. Shenwari c Wilson b Barry McCarthy 27(63) [4s-2]
