IRE VS AFG - 5th T20I, Afghanistan tour of Ireland, 2022

The trophy has now been presented to the Irish skipper. The group pose for the cameras before acknowledging the support from the crowd. It's been a well-fought series this barring the last couple of games which were truncated due to rain. Ireland certainly were the better side and are the deserved winners. Curtains down on another T20I series then. We have a lot of cricket in store though, starting with the Zimbabwe - India ODI series tomorrow. Do remember to hop on. Until next time, good night and goodbye!!

Andrew Balbirnie | Ireland skipper: We had a long summer so knew there will be opportunties to play some good cricket. Our bowlers were outstanding today. We got a great group of players, great competition within the squad. We knew we had to start well with the bat and it's always good chasing a total like that, great clarity. He (Dockrell) has been brilliant all summer, hits the ball very straight and very difficult to target. We started really well and we know we got a big challenge coming up in Australia this October. A few guys from our group haven't been there so really exciting.

Mohammad Nabi | Afghanistan skipper: We can't control the weather. They put us under pressure with early wickets and maybe a full game we would have had a different result. The boys have been improving in all departments and the last 2 games there was rain and we can't control it. As a bowling group, Rashid and Mujeeb bowling brilliantly throughout the series. We enjoyed the last couple of weeks here, it's brilliant.

George Dockrell | Player of the series: Really enjoying this new role, nice to be able to chip in and get some runs. Working on a few things to get better with every game. Really enjoyed the role. We have been training hard and got the license to go from ball one. Been a fantastic Irish summer for us, we will have a little bit of time off and get back to training.

Mark Adair | Player of the Match: As a unit we have been pretty good, today there was a bit of luck. There's chats before the game and the series and the belief that we can do it with the ball and in the field. Pretty pleasing.

19:13 Local Time, 18:13 GMT, 23:43 IST: It's Dockrell, the finisher for Ireland. He hit the winning runs in all three Ireland's wins this series. Whoa, that's quite something he will remember for a long time. After put into bat and despite the loss of early wickets, Afghanistan found momentum in the 10th over which included 2 fours and 2 sixes. Two quick wickets in the next over, however, derailed their innings and at the rain break, found themselves in a bit of bother. Ireland were never in doubt during the chase and fittingly, it's their finisher who put an end to proceedings. Ireland badly needed this series win given the turn of events in the last couple of months.

Rashid Khan to Tucker, 1 run, Gurbaz seems to have hurt his shoulder here. Rashid bowled a googly which Tucker missed after coming down the wicket. It may have clipped the inside edge maybe? Either way, it spins in sharply and deflects off the keeper's shoulder towards fine leg
