IRE vs AFG Match Preview:
Ireland and Afghanistan will renew their battle in the fourth ODI of the Afghanistan tour of Ireland 2026 at Civil Service Cricket Club, Belfast, on 12th August at 3:15 PM IST. Afghanistan lead the series 2-0, with the opening ODI abandoned without a toss before the visitors won the next two matches. Therefore, Ireland must produce a strong response to keep the series competitive.
Afghanistan will enter the fourth ODI with confidence after securing a three-wicket victory in the third match. Ireland posted 206 all out, but Afghanistan completed the chase at 207/7 in 44.5 overs. Rahmanullah Gurbaz led the response with 71, while Rashid Khan remained unbeaten on 37 to guide his team across the line. For Ireland, Gavin Hoey impressed with 4/34, while Allah Ghazanfar claimed 3/29 for Afghanistan. The victory gave Afghanistan a 2-0 series lead and another valuable result in their 2027 ODI World Cup campaign.
Meanwhile, the third ODI highlighted the strengths and weaknesses of both teams. Afghanistan demonstrated their ability to recover under pressure despite losing seven wickets, whereas Ireland struggled to build a competitive total after losing all their wickets for 206. Moreover, both teams will return to the same Belfast venue for the fourth ODI, giving Ireland another opportunity to use familiar conditions and challenge the visitors.
With Afghanistan looking to extend their dominance and Ireland desperate to fight back, the fourth ODI should provide another competitive encounter. Ultimately, Afghanistan will aim to strengthen their series advantage, while Ireland will seek a much-improved performance to keep their hopes alive.
