Afghanistan face Ireland in an one-off Test in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday. The Test match is part of a longer tour that includes 3 ODIs and 3 T20Is between the two sides. The one-off Test match had a change of venue at the last minute as it will now be played at the Tolerance Oval in place of the usual Sheikh Zayed Stadium due to a school sports championship. With 15 Test matches between them, both Afghanistan and Ireland are slightly inexperienced in the longest format of the sport. While Ireland have never won a Test match, Afghanistan have two wins including one over Ireland.
Afghanistan salvaged some pride on Wednesday when they secured a nail-biting three-run win over hosts Sri Lanka in the third T20 international, the last game of their multi-format tour. It has been a wretched tour for the Afghans -- losing six matches in a row -- but skipper Ibrahim Zadran said he was "feeling great" after his team held their nerve in a dramatic close with a hard-fought win. "I am happy with the win," Zadran said. "Unfortunately, we lost the series."
Rookie Sri Lankan fast bowler Matheesha Pathirana claimed four wickets to help rescue the hosts after their batting collapse and hand Afghanistan a narrow four-run defeat in Saturday's T20 opener. Sri Lanka were all out for 160 with six balls remaining and Afghan opener Ibrahim Zadran led the reply, batting through the innings with 67 not out. But his chase was bereft of support with the next top-scorer Karim Janat making 20 at number seven before Pathirana sent him back.

Afghanistan were well placed at 128 for one in pursuit of their target, but once Rahmat Shah (54) and Ibrahim Zadran (63) were dismissed there was little fight from the rest of the batters.
