Toss Ireland opt to bowl vs Afghanistan
Left-arm quick Moondra, meanwhile, made a name for himself during the T20I series against India in June, while right-arm pacer McDonough steps up to international cricket after bagging eight wickets at an average of 31.25 at the Inter-Provincial Limited Over Cup, Ireland’s domestic 50-over competition.
Afghanistan will be led by new captain Rahmat Shah, who took over the job after Hashmatullah Shahidi stepped down.
The five-match series is locked at 0-0 after the first ODI, also in Bready, was abandoned on Wednesday. As a result of that washout, Ireland will have to play the Qualifier tournament to make it to the 2027 World Cup to be held in Africa.
