The facts
Moondra's figures came from ten overs. Namibia were dismissed for 168 in 41 overs after Ireland made 298 for eight. [1][2]
BBC Sport reports that the performance surpassed Josh Little's six for 36 against Zimbabwe in 2023. The record is specific to Ireland's men's ODI side, not a world or all-format record. [2]
The victory left the five-match series level at two wins each, with the deciding match scheduled for 1 November. No series title has yet been won. [1][2]
