We've finished the first go-round of head-to-heads in this year's Dubai Triangular Series. After three great matches, it is Ireland that stands atop the pile at 2-0, with Afghanistan at 1-1, and Scotland trying to climb out of an 0-2 hole.
Dubai has been a cricket trip to forget for the Scots thus far (at least they're enjoying the weather and attractions, we hope), as they've fallen to Afghanistan by 8 wickets and then Ireland by 3. It has been a big reality check for a squad that entered this Triangular Series hoping to string together some momentum for the upcoming Cricket World Cup.
The player to watch in this match is Afghanistan's Javed Ahmadi -- he scored 81 before chipping in with 4 for 37 in Afghanistan narrow loss to Ireland. Can he keep his hot streak going?
