One dreams of that kind of knock, says Ireland’s Andrew Balbirnie

Dehradun (Uttarakhand): Ireland’s top-order batsman Andrew Balbirnie played an unbeaten knock of 145 runs, enabling his team to register a win over Afghanistan by four wickets in the third-ODI of the five-match series.
The batsman was pleased by his knock and said that one dreams of playing that type of knock.
“When you go out and bat, you dream of having that kind of knock, so to do it is just great, we are a very close team at the moment, we are in the hotel, spending a lot of time with each other, so just to be able to get that win, we will enjoy that tonight, and we will go again tomorrow preparing for the next game in two days,” International Cricket Council (ICC) quoted Balbirnie as saying.
Ireland as a result of their win, have levelled the five-match series at 1-1. The batsman came out to bat in the third over and he remained unbeaten at the end.
The batsman has said that this knock will give him tremendous confidence going ahead in the series.
“I think I just stuck to my strengths. I got out sweeping the other day, but I did not want to put that in the locker because it is a strong shot of mine,” Balbirnie said.
