Rashid Khan delivered a stellar performance for Afghanistan, claiming six wickets as the team secured a 92-run victory over Ireland in their second One-Day International. The match, played at the County Tyrone ground in Bready, was delayed by wet conditions, resulting in a three-over reduction per side. Afghanistan capitalized on the favorable conditions, with Rashid Khan stealing the show with his impressive bowling display.
