Bready: Rashid Khan produced a devastating spell of 6/34 as Afghanistan defeated Ireland by 92 runs in the second ODI at Bready on Saturday to take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series.

The first ODI was washed out without a ball being bowled, but Afghanistan made the most of the second opportunity, defending their 299/8 with ease as Ireland were bowled out for 207 in 42.5 overs.

Rashid claimed four of Ireland's last seven wickets to complete his third six-wicket haul in ODI cricket. His spell proved decisive after Ireland had appeared to be in contention during their chase.

Ireland were 144/3 in the 24th over, needing another 156 runs from 137 deliveries with seven wickets in hand, but a freak run-out of Lorcan Tucker triggered a collapse that saw the hosts lose seven wickets for just 63 runs.
