overs, while Rankin had 3-40 after starting poorly conceding runs in the middle as the game began tilting in the visitors' favour for a brief period. \n \nFor Ireland, if not for William Porterfield (53) and Paul Stirling (71), who added 99 for the third wicket, it would've been a sorry tale too. Kevin O'Brien added a handy 32, but Afghanistan's bowlers did well to restrict the hosts to a modest total. Aftab Alam and Dawlat Zadran returned three wickets apiece, while Rashid Khan had two. \n \nAfghanistan still have one more ODI to put their line-up to test before their warm-ups against Pakista
