Afghanistan vs Ireland 2017: 5th ODI, 5 Talking Points

#3 Rashid Khan wreaks havoc

Rashid Khan has been a great find for Afghanistan

The 18-year-old leg-spinner has made headlines for all the right reasons ever since bagging an IPL contract with Sunrisers Hyderabad. He has sizzled on this Indian tour and Ireland have found him too hot to handle.

While they seemed to have got a hang of Rashid in the last two games with Andy Balbirnie and Kevin O'Brien dominating the spinner, Rashid was back to his best in the decider. He picked up the initial breakthrough by cleaning up Ed Joyce's stumps after an enterprising opening stand.

But it was his next spell that left Ireland reeling. Rashid went on to devour Balbirnie, keeper, Niall O'Brien, and Stuart Thompson to leave Ireland at 193/7. Despite getting off to a decent start, Ireland finished with a below par score.
