Victory meant Ireland levelled the five-match series 1-1 after the second game was washed out. Chasing 257 on a sluggish wicket, Balbirnie smashed eight fours and as many sixes during his unbeaten 136-ball 145 to take his side home with one over to spare. While Shinwari picked up a wicket, his ten overs cost 60 when Ireland were on the back foot. Ireland still needed 41 from the last seven overs, four of those overs belonging to Rashid Khan. The shift in momentum started with Najibullah reverse-pulling Simi Singh for a six on the last ball of the 45th over.
