Afghanistan too strong for Ireland
Mohammad Nabi and Najibullah Zadran's unbroken 86-run stand led Afghanistan to their eighth Twenty20 International win in a row over Ireland.
In the first of three Twenty20 meetings between the two, Ireland's total of 132-6 was always going to be tricky to defend at Dehradun.
And so it proved, Afghanistan putting up 136-5 to claim a five-wicket victory.
