In the first ODI, visitors opted to chase after winning the toss at the Sharjah ground, which is known for its shorter boundaries. However, Afghanistan proved the decision of Ireland as a mistake after taking the charge early on in the game. They cruised to an excellent score of 310/5 with the help of a scintillating knock of 121 from opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz.
Chasing the monumental task of 311, Ireland got off to a horror start with their top three batters back in the pavilion at a mere total of 34. With the heavy defeat rallying around the corner, the two middle-order batters in Harry Tector and Lorcan Tucker added 173-runs for the fourth wicket to steady the chase. However, their association only delayed the inevitable as Paul Stirling’s side fell 35 runs short of the target.
