Afghanistan's maiden Test win: How the Asian minnows beat India, West Indies, New Zealand and South Africa

Afghanistan notched a historic maiden win in only its second test match when it defeated Ireland by seven wickets in the one-off test ending Monday. Needing 118 runs, Rahmat Shah scored his second half-century of the match and Ihsanullah Janat made 50 in his debut test as Afghanistan reached 149-3 just before lunch on the fourth day. It was a remarkable achievement for one of Test cricket's latest entrants as they became only the third nation ever in history to have tasted success in only their 2nd match in the game's most revered format.
