Scorecard
Rashid Khan took six wickets as Afghanistan beat Ireland by 92 runs in Gary Wilson’s first one-day international as head coach.
After Wednesday’s opener if the five-game series was washed out without a ball bowled, a wet outfield at Bready led to a 90-minute delay and a reduction of three overs per side.
Afghanistan quickly took advantage of the short boundaries at the County Tyrone ground, with a succession of batters looking set even if it was only Ibrahim Zadran who went on to pass fifty.
His 84 helped Afghanistan post 299-8 ,but Ireland could only muster 207 as Wilson’s reign started with defeat.
Cade Carmichael was Ireland’s top scorer with 62, but Rashid stole the show with six wickets.
The tourists have won seven ODIs against Ireland in succession, a run that stretches back to 2019.
