Rashid takes six wickets as Afghanistan thrash Ireland

BBC Sport · 15 hours ago

Afghanistan beat Ireland by 92 runs in the second one-day international at Bready, with Rashid Khan taking six wickets in a commanding performance. The result gave Gary Wilson a defeat in his first ODI as Ireland head coach and extended Afghanistan’s winning run against Ireland to seven matches, underlining the tourists’ recent dominance.

In a match reduced to 47 overs per side after a wet outfield delayed the start, Ibrahim Zadran made 84 to help Afghanistan reach 299-8. Ireland’s injury-hit bowling attack conceded 32 boundaries, while Cade Carmichael’s 62 was their leading reply before Rashid finished with 6-34; Ireland were dismissed for 207 in 33.4 overs. The series is part of both sides’ preparation for the 2027 World Cup qualifiers.
