Series Opener in Magheramason: International One Day Cricket arrives in Northern Ireland as Paul Stirling's Ireland host Rahmat Shah's Afghanistan in the 1st ODI at the Bready Cricket Club Ground! Catch every boundary, wicket, and tactical setup live!

The 5-match ODI bilateral series between Ireland and Afghanistan gets underway at the Bready Cricket Club Ground. With five games scheduled across Bready and Stormont, both teams look to set an early tone in the opening encounter.

For Ireland, playing on home turf provides an important seam-and-swing advantage. Led by veteran captain Paul Stirling, Ireland's batting core-featuring Harry Tector, Andrew Balbirnie, Lorcan Tucker, and Curtis Campher-aims to set or chase firm totals against Afghanistan's world-class attack. Meanwhile, fast bowler Mark Adair leads the pace attack looking to exploit conditions in the opening overs.

For Afghanistan, the series marks the start of Rahmat Shah's leadership tenure as ODI captain. Powered by explosive top-order dynamic Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran, alongside all-rounder Azmatullah Omarzai, Afghanistan brings balanced middle-overs control. Spearheaded by star leg-spinner Rashid Khan, young sensation AM Ghazanfar, and left-arm pacer Fazalhaq Farooqi, Afghanistan aims to assert dominance early in the tour.
