Full commentary
This result would have been hard to see when Ireland's third wicket fell with the score on 29. However a massive fourth wicket partnership of 144 between Ed Joyce and Kevin O'Brien really took the game away from Afghanistan. Once O'Brien went, Stirling came in and hit a quick fire 39 off 37 to keep Ed Joyce company on his march towards his century.
