The return of star all-rounder Rashid Khan has expectedly had a huge impact on Afghanistan's performance in their ongoing T20I duel against Ireland. Captain Rashid has been among the wickets in the first as well as second T20 internationals, and is likely to play a major role in the third and final game, to be played in Sharjah on Monday, March 18, 2024.

The match will serve as a decider for the series, which is tied at 1-1. Ireland had won the first game by 38 runs. Batting first, the Irish posted a total of 149 runs on the board. In response, Afghanistan were bundled out for a paltry score of 111.

But the Afghans bounced back strongly in the second T20I. They put a 152-run total on board after winning the toss and choosing to bat first. Rashid then lead the bowling display, picking up four wickets for just 14 runs in his four overs to derail the Irish chase and limit them to 142 runs. The skipper scored a 12-ball 25 to boot and was chosen as the Player Of The Match.

The 25-year-old has scalped seven wickets in the two games and will be looking to end the T20I series in double digits.
