AFG VS IRE - 3rd T20I, Afghanistan v Ireland in India, 2019

So, that brings to an end our coverage for the T20I leg of this series. The ODIs will follow in a few day's time. Do join us for that one. Until next time, it's goodbye from us. Cheers!

Afghan: Very happy as we won the series. Great for the team and for the people of Afghanistan. We are giving a lot of chance to the new talents for the ODI series as the World Cup is important for us. We want to dedicate this series win to the people of Afghanistan and I have a message to say. (Speaks in native language)

Nabi, Man of the Match and Man of the Series: It's a good feeling. If I don't perform with the bat, I try to do with the ball or in the field. It's important to pass on my information to the younger players. We (me and Rashid) play a lot across the globe and it's crucial to pass on the experience.

Stirling: I thought we will give it another go by chasing. We were on track by faded away after some wickets in the middle overs. If we get a start, we need to go big and partnerships are key. Hopefully, we can learn from these experiences. We've got a few new lads coming for the ODIs. Excited to see them join us. Will prepare afresh and train hard.

22:01 Local Time, 16:31 GMT: A comfortable win for Afghanistan in the end. At one point with Kevin O'Brien and Andy Balbirnie going great guns, Ireland were very much in the chase but once that partnership was broken, the innings imploded big time. Rashid Khan became the first spinner to take a T20I hat-trick en route to a five-wicket haul that ripped the lower and middle order. Debutant Ziaur Rahman did get a lot of stick but it was his second scalp, which broke the big stand, which turned the game. If Rashid shone in the second half, it was the other Afghan star, veteran Nabi who starred in the first half with a blistering knock that eventually helped Afghanistan post their second successive 200-plus score. It wasn't as daunting a total as last night but still was more than enough for the hosts to complete the series whitewash.

Rashid Khan to Rankin, 1 run, pushed through quicker, Rankin knocks it down to long-on for a single. Afghanistan complete the whitewash!

Rashid Khan to Stuart Poynter, 1 run, fuller and wider outside off, pushed with soft hands towards point for a single. Misfield allowed the run with ease

Rashid Khan to Joshua Little, out Bowled!! Fifer for Rashid, the fun continues for him.
