Skipper Andrew Balbirnie's blitzkrieg powered Ireland to a historic maiden Test victory following their six-wicket triumph over Afghanistan in the one-off Test at Tolerance Oval on Friday.
Chasing a target of 186, Ireland suffered early blows. Prasidh Krishna continued his previous form and got two breakthroughs in the 3rd over. He dismissed Captain Paul Stirling and Lorcan Tucker on zeros.
