After beating Afghanistan in the first T20I by seven-wicket, Ireland will want to continue on the winning path in the second T20I at Civil Service Cricket Club, Belfast on Thursday. After winning the opening fixture, Ireland captain and Man of the Match in the first game, Andy Balbarnie said, "Lot more fun to score runs and get a win. We have been hurting not getting over the line against a few great teams, but today feels good. I thought we bowled pretty well and chased smartly. Lorcan Tucker played a brilliant knock - a bit of a complete chase. We managed to get a solid platform today, and the threat of spin was navigated well. It is great to have so many bowling options, everyone is doing their role with the ball. We knew we could chase this, our bowlers bowled to the plans."
