Afghanistan Edge Out Ireland To Level T20I Series

Led by captain Rashid Khan, Afghanistan proved too strong for Ireland with the ball as they won the second T20 international of their three-match series by 10 runs in Sharjah on Friday. Afghanistan's victory ties up the series 1-1 as Ireland's multi-format tour against Afghanistan approaches its end. A valiant knock of 39 off 18 balls by Gareth Delany was in vain as Ireland failed to score the 18 runs necessary off the last over to win. One six was not enough as the penultimate ball was stopped for no run and the last saw Delany caught on the boundary off Fazalhaq Farooqi.
