Dream11 fantasy XI tips and guide for the 5th ODI of the Ireland vs Afghanistan ODI series 2026 between IRE vs AFG to be played in Belfast.

Afghanistan have been too good for Ireland in the ongoing ODI series, and they have won the series with one game left to play. Afghanistan have earned a 3-0 unbeatable lead, thanks to Ibrahim Zadran and Sediq Atal, who scored centuries in the fourth game.

Yamin Ahmadzai (4/71) and Rashid Khan (3/49) were the pick of the bowlers as Afghanistan recorded a 42-run win in a high-scoring clash. Atal, who scored 143 off 120 balls, bagged the MOTM award.

Afghanistan will aim for the 4-0 series whitewash. The final ODI will start at 3:15 PM IST on Saturday at Civil Service Cricket Club in Belfast.

Ireland showed an improved batting performance in the fourth match, but it wasn’t enough. That shows that they need to change their plans to avoid the series cleansweep.
