that's what they should've done long ago as Murtagh bowls a yorker and finishes the game

Full commentary
Ireland win the game by 68 runs and win the 2013/14 ICC WT20 Qualifier. Afghanistan got off to a brilliant start and for the time that Shahzad was at the crease, they actually looked like pulling the chase off. Dockrell put the brakes on by claiming the wickets of Mangal and Shahzad. From then on, despite Naib's good knock, it was all downhill for Afghanistan
Now to the man of the moment- Trent Johnston. In what is his final limited overs game, he came out and blasted a half-century, took three wickets and bowled a maiden too. If this isn't a fairytale finish, I would want to know what is
The two groups for the first round of the ICC World Twenty20 Bangladesh 2014 are:

Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Nepal and Hong Kong
Group B
Zimbabwe, Ireland, UAE and Netherlands
Trent Johnston is the man of the match. Samiullah Shenwari is the man of the series
