Rashid Khan leads Afghanistan to 92-run ODI win over Ireland
Afghanistan secured a 92‑run victory over Ireland in the second One‑Day International of their five‑match series, with leg‑spinner Rashid Khan spearheading a dramatic collapse of the Irish batting line‑up. After posting a competitive total, Afghanistan’s bowlers tightened the reins, and Khan’s incisive spell produced a flurry of wickets that dismantled Ireland’s chase, leaving them well short of the target.
The win gives Afghanistan a 2‑0 lead in the series and places them in a commanding position as the contest moves forward. With the remaining three matches still to be played, both sides will look to adjust strategies, but Afghanistan’s combination of solid batting and Rashid Khan’s match‑winning bowling will be a key factor as they aim to clinch the series.
