The third ODI between Afghanistan and Ireland was played at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Tuesday. The match was halted for a while as Afghanistan players broke their Ramadan fast. While those in the change room got to break their fast inside the pavilion, Afghanistan skipper Hashmatullah Shahidi and all-rounder Mohammad Nabi were seen having 'Iftar' meal on the field after 40 overs were bowled during their batting innings.

While Afghanistan and Pakistan players have been seen breaking their fast during international cricket matches, this time around it was a unique scenario as the players ended their fast on the field itself. The video of them ending their fast on field has gone viral on social media.

Mohammad Nabi's All-Round Show Helps Afghanistan Beat Ireland

Afghanisan all-rounder Mohammad Nabi's all-round show helped Afghanistan beat Ireland in the third ODI and bag the series 2-0. Afghanistan batted first and posted 236/9 in their 50 overs before managing to bundle out the Irish side for 119 in 35 overs. Mark Adair (3/51) was the pick of the bowlers for Ireland. Nabi chipped in with both the bat and ball scoring 48 runs off 62 deliveries and then returning to scalp 5 wickets for 17 runs.

Hashmatullah Shahidi top-scored in th Afghanistan innings, making 69 off 103 balls while Rahmanullah Gurbaz also scored a half-century, making 51 off 53 deliveries. Other than Nabi's standout performance with the ball for the winning side, Nangeyalia Kharote also managed to create a buzz with his spell of bowling, finishing with 4 wickets for 30 runs in his 9 overs. Fazalhaq Farooqi picked the remaining Ireland wicket.

As far as the European side is concerned, Paul Stirling did put on a fight and scored 50 off 53 balls while Curtis Campher made a contribution worth 43 runs. However, none of that was enough to push the Dutch to a win over Afghanistan in the final ODI.
