Rashid Khan's 6/34 powers Afghanistan to 92-run win over Ireland

Rashid Khan's 6/34 powers Afghanistan to 92-run win over Ireland

Two cricket teams from different countries, Afghanistan and Ireland, played a game called a One-Day International.

Their first game was rained out, so nobody got to play.

In the second game, Afghanistan batted first and scored 299 runs.

Ireland needed to score 300 runs to win, but they only managed 207.

An Afghanistan player named Rashid Khan bowled brilliantly and got six Irish batters out.

Ireland was doing well early in their chase, but then one of their players, Lorcan Tucker, got run out by accident.

After that, Ireland quickly lost their last seven wickets.

Cade Carmichael played very well for Ireland and scored his first 50 runs in this kind of match.

In the end, Afghanistan won by 92 runs and now leads the series 1-0.

The teams will play more games in the series to see who wins.
