Ireland draw level
Half-centuries by Paul Stirling and Andy Balbirnie helped Ireland to a five-wicket series-levelling win over Afghanistan in the fifth and final ODI yesterday.
Chasing a modest 217, Ireland depended on a 81-run second-wicket stand between Stirling and Balbirnie to achieve their target in 47.2 overs. The second ODI was washed out.
Left-arm spinner Geroge Dockrell set up the win as Ireland kept down Afghanistan to 216 for six after being put into bat first.
