With the ball, Mohammed Saleem rushed the Ireland batters with pace and zip, though he was Afghanistan's most expensive bowler on the day. With the first ODI of the series abandoned, Ireland were forced to enter the World Cup qualifier. In the second ODI, Rahmat Shah took his time to settle, only to fall for 30. Rahmat will face tougher tests in the future, but a positive start as captain will help boost his confidence in the lead-up to the World Cup. It is expected to be cloudy in Bready on Monday, with little chance of rain in the morning and afternoon.
