Ireland will face Afghanistan in the fifth ODI of the Afghanistan tour of Ireland 2026 at the Civil Service Cricket Club, Belfast, on 14th August at 3:15 PM IST. Afghanistan have already secured the series after winning the fourth ODI by 42 runs, posting 343/9 before bowling Ireland out for 301 in 48 overs.
Afghanistan produced a powerful batting display in the fourth ODI, with Sediqullah Atal smashing 143 from 120 balls and Ibrahim Zadran scoring 107. The pair added 231 runs for the second wicket and put Afghanistan in control. Ireland fought back through Andy Balbirnie’s 109 from 119 balls and Curtis Campher’s quick 84 from 46 balls, but Afghanistan’s bowlers eventually finished the job. Yamin Ahmadzai took 4/71, while Rashid Khan claimed 3/49 and Azmatullah Omarzai picked up 2/57.
Ireland will now look to finish the series with a stronger performance, particularly after losing early wickets in the previous match. Meanwhile, Afghanistan will aim to maintain their momentum and complete the series with another victory. Balbirnie and Campher give Ireland proven recent form, while Atal, Ibrahim and Afghanistan’s spin attack provide the visitors with plenty of confidence. As both teams return to the same Belfast venue, the final ODI should offer another competitive contest.
