Dubai: John Mooney's second five-wicket haul in the match saw Ireland post a comprehensive victory by 122 runs over Afghanistan to win the ICC Intercontinental Cup final on Friday.
Defending champions Afghanistan, chasing 347 runs for victory, were 136 for five overnight but were dismissed for 224.
Medium pacer Mooney took 5 wickets for 36 in the Afghan second innings, giving him match figures of 10-81.
This was Ireland's fourth title in six editions of the Intercontinental Cup, but this victory marked the first time a team has won three ICC tournaments across three different formats in the same calendar year.
Ireland won the World Cricket League Championship title in the 50-over format in October and the ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier tournament in November, to go with the Intercontinental Cup title in the longer format.
Rahmat Shah and captain Mohammad Nabi took Afghanistan to 189 for five at lunch without being separated.
However, things changed after lunch when Ireland decided to take the second new ball in the 82nd over at 199-5.
Porterfield's master stroke did the trick when Mooney ran through Afghanistan's lower order as the defending champion lost its last five wickets for 25 runs in just under 14 overs with Rahmat Shah left stranded at 86.
