"We have been playing for a while, we have been playing first-class cricket, so we have that composure.

"The bowlers were very good, Rashid (Khan), Yamin (Ahmadzai).

Now we're going to South Africa for World Cup preparation.

We will try our best to play good cricket."Ireland captain William Porterfield admitted his side were left chasing the game after a poor first inningsIreland 'outplayed' admits PorterfieldIreland were on the back foot from the opening day when they were they were bowled out for 172 at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium.Afghanistan responded with a total of 314 to secure a 144-run first-innings lead and despite Ireland's improved second-innings total of 288, helped by Andrew Balbirnie's 82, the Afghans were still in a strong position going into the penultimate day.Ireland captain and opener William Porterfield, who managed only nine runs in the contest, admitted that the Afghans "outplayed us"."We had to capitalise in the first innings.

If we'd done how we'd done in the second innings, it could have been a completely different game.

But credit to Afghanistan."Both Ireland and Afghanistan were playing their second-ever Test since being awarded a full member status in 2017.The Irish side's home debut ended in a five-wicket defeat by Pakistan in a hard-fought contest last May, while Afghanistan succumbed inside two days against top-ranked India a month later in Bengaluru.Prior to the Test, Afghanistan won a Twenty20 series 3-0 at their adopted home in Dehradun before Ireland rebounded to earn a 2-2 draw in a one-day series.
