Andrew Balbirnie and Paul Stirling almost knocked Bangladesh out of the match. From there, it was an incredible win. That too is the end. At the end of the match, Mustafiz-Hasan’s brilliant bowling helped Tamim Iqbal’s team win by 5 runs. The Tigers also won the series 2-0 with a dramatic win in the third and final ODI.

Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bat first at Chelmsford in England on Sunday and was bowled out for 274 in 48.5 overs. Captain Tamim Iqbal top-scored for the team with 69 runs.

It was their partnership that gave the team the dream of winning. Pace bowler Ebadat Hossain broke the partnership. Ireland captain Andy Balbirnie returned with a 78-ball 53.

Off-spinner Mehidy Hasan Miraz did not allow Paul Stirling to score more than 60 runs from the start of the innings.

After Balbirnie and Sterling were dismissed, Harry Tucker and Lorcan Tucker kept the team on their way to victory. The Irish remained in the game despite the dismissals of Lorcan Tucker and Harry Tucker for 45 and 50.

Ireland needed just 10 runs from the last over to win. Mark Edair continued to bat towards the end of the innings bowled by Hasan Mahmud on the first ball of the over. Ireland takes a single off the next ball.

Hasan took another wicket off the third ball. Andy McBurney was the victim this time. Six runs were needed off the last ball to win. One wicket in hand. Ireland could not take more than a single run off Hasan Mahmud’s last ball. Bangladesh won the series 2-0 with a five-run win in a tense match.

Bangladesh is facing Ireland on Sunday (May 14) in the third ODI of the three-match series. After the first match was abandoned, Nazmul Hossain Shantar’s century won the second match by 3 wickets for the Tigers. In other words, Tamim Iqbal’s team has a chance to win the series if they win in the third ODI.

Although there is a question of winning the series, Bangladesh is going to make several changes in the eleven in the third match. Cricket Board President Nazmul Hasan Papon gave this glimpse on the day of the second match. The team management is still not satisfied with the opening and late middle order. So Hathuru wants to try playing someone else in these places.

It’s going to be a test stage for Hathuru – maybe Ireland was on everyone’s mind even before the series. Bangladesh will not get much time to prepare the team before the World Cup. After Ireland, the Afghanistan series is the one for Sabedhan Neelmani’s management. Because the shadow of the World Cup will go to the Asia Cup.

All the plans fell apart in front of the bad weather in Ireland. Due to extreme cold and rain, the practice did not go well.
On top of that, as the difference here with the World Cup conditions was too great, Hathuru withdrew from the test policy. His primary goal, for now, is to finish the series and come back. Other think tanks of the party do not think like this. At least the BCB boss wants some cricketers to be verified here as well. To be clear, the batsmen are still not quite settled in the opening and late middle order. There is scope for conducting small tests in both places. The team management has accepted his words.

Chance now surrounds the third match. According to the BCB boss, there may be some changes due to the poor performance of the spinners, not allowing Mirage to bowl, and average performance in the opening. Shakib is out of the series with a finger injury. It is also time to see who BCB plays in his place.

Uncomfortable news for Tiger fans ahead of the series in England. There is a threat of rain in all three matches of the Bangladesh-Ireland series. The country’s Met Office is predicting rain ahead of every match in Chelmsford. Tiger cricketers are also in trouble in English hostile conditions.

Being the World Cup year, coach Chandika Hathurusinghe has taken the Ireland series very seriously. For which the Bangladesh team had started preparing long ago. The Tigers had already flown to Essex to adapt to the conditions in England. But everything seems to be destroyed by the rain. Not prepared properly. The only warm-up match not played was against Ireland Wolves. Now there is concern about the match of the main series.

It is the rainy season in England. It is raining continuously. The Meteorological Department of the country is predicting rain in the first match of the Bangladesh-Ireland series as well. According to the forecast, drizzle may start from 8 am on Tuesday. Which is likely to increase with time. What can go on and on all day long? So there is fear that the match will be abandoned.

Like the first match, the Meteorological Department has predicted rain for the remaining two matches of the series. There is a risk of intermittent rain in Chelmsford from 7 am to 7 pm on May 12. And on the day of the last match of the series on May 14, the Meteorological Department announced that it will rain all day from 6 am. So the cricketers are also in a bit of trouble.

Bangladesh aims to win against Ireland by playing aggressively. However, if the match is abandoned, the Irish will suffer more than Bangladesh. Because if they win this series 3-0, they will have the opportunity to play directly in the ODI World Cup from the top eight of the ICC Super League.

The job was done before Lytton could turn and clear the ball off the wicket. Lytton, who was playing brilliantly, was unfortunately bowled for 23 runs.

The Irish want to make a 180 lead
Irish have 2 wickets. How far do they want to go? asked Lorcan Tucker, hero of their dreamy days. The wicket-keeper batsman, who got the first century of his career on debut, said that the guests will be happy if it is like 170-180 runs.
Hear the rest from his mouth, ‘Now we are leading by 130 runs…I will be quite happy if we can give a target of 170-180 runs. That means I want to score 40-50 more runs. I think we can do it.

Bangladesh is helpless on the third day
Bangladesh’s third day started with dreams of a big win by innings. Talker-Tector-McBrien poured water on that dream. Having started the day at 27 for 4, the Irish, who came down to play only the fourth Test, ended the day at 286 for 8. They ended the day with a responsible batting lead.

Bangladesh got off to a great start in the only Test against Ireland. Before the tea break, the Tigers picked up a crucial 6 wickets. The Irish went into the tea break with 145 runs for 6 wickets at the Mirpur Sher-e-Bangla Stadium on Tuesday (April 4). Taijul Islam picked up 3 wickets for the Tigers. Shariful Islam, Ebadat Hossain, and Mehedi Hasan Miraj bagged one wicket each. Ireland, who won the toss and took the batting, was pushed at the beginning by Shariful Islam. Ireland lost their first wicket for 11 runs. Murray Cummins was trapped leg before by Shariful. He was able to score 5 runs by facing 10 balls. After Shariful, Ebadat Hossain also got a wicket with the ball in hand. He dismissed James McCullum in his second over. Ebadat’s outswinger hit the edge of McCullum’s bat and was caught by Nazmul Hossain Shanta at first slip. Shanta, however, could not collect the ball at the first opportunity; The left-hander took control of the ball by juggling several times. Taijul took the third wicket. Irish captain Andrew Balbirnie was lbw by the left-arm spinner.

After getting out, however, the Ireland captain took a review. But it didn’t help. He returned to the pavilion after scoring 16 runs off 50 balls. Harry Tector and Curtis Campher picked up 74 runs in the fourth wicket partnership. Mirage strikes before their pair grows older. Tector was bowled by Mirage after playing an inning of exactly 50 runs off 92 balls with 6 fours and 1 six. After his departure, Peter Moore departed with another run added. Taijul’s ball was caught by Tamim Iqbal, who scored 1 run. Kampfer also could not stay at the crease. After scoring 34 runs off 73 balls, he returned to Sajghar with Taijul’s ball falling into the leg before the trap. Irish lost 3 wickets between 122-124 runs. Lorcan Tucker and Andy McBrien kept the Tigers under pressure before the tea break. Tucker is 11 off 31 balls and McBrien is unbeaten on 10 off 35 balls.

The Harry Taktor-Curtis Kampfer pairing was brilliant in overcoming the pressure Ireland had put on with the ball in the first session. Tiger captain Shakib Al Hasan had a worried look on his forehead. Mehdi Hasan Miraj relieved the captain by breaking that pair. After that, Taijul Islam also joined the wicket hunt. Shariful Islam, who won the toss in Mirpur on Tuesday (April 4), pushed Ireland into bat at the start. Bangladesh continued to pressure the Irish who lost the first wicket by 11 runs and picked up two more doors Ireland is in danger after losing 3 wickets for just 48 runs.

Then the Irish overcame the initial setback with a pair of 74 runs. But the two spinners Mehdi Hasan Miraj and Taijul Islam pushed the visitors to the back foot again. First, Mirage brought back Tactor who scored a half-century. He was bowled by Mirage after playing an inning of exactly 50 runs off 92 balls with 6 fours and 1 six. Mirage will own 150 wickets in Tests if he gets only 3 doors after Taktor’s departure, Peter Moore departed with another run added. Taijul’s ball was caught by Tamim Iqbal, who scored 1 run. After Moore, Taijul’s victim, Curtis Kampfer, scored 34 runs off 73 balls. Irish lost 3 wickets between 122-124 runs.

Bangladesh is going to play Test cricket after four months. The Tigers will play the only Test against Ireland on Tuesday (April 4). Taskin is out with an injury. The hosts want to play aggressive cricket in Tests like ODIs and T20s. Meanwhile, with only 3 Tests to play, the Irish are also up for the fight. The match will start at 10 am at Mirpur Stadium. Afghanistan and Ireland have been given Test status by the ICC but have not been included in the World Test Championship. As a result, Ireland’s match against Bangladesh is not part of the Test Championship. But Bangladesh is careful. Bangladesh is entering the field with the best eleven against Ireland, who have only played three Tests in international cricket. All but the injured Taskin and IPL-bound Mustafiz are in the match against Ireland. Meanwhile, Rezaur Rahman Raja got a place on the team instead of Taskin. Despite doubts over Shakib-Litton, it has finally been confirmed that they are playing against Ireland.

Meanwhile, it is questionable how dangerous Ireland is in front of Bangladesh, who have only played three Tests despite getting Test status five years ago. Most of the players in this Irish team have very little first-class experience. Captain Andrew Balbirnie also candidly admitted his inexperience. However, despite not having enough experience, the Irish have strength in mind. The team wants to jump into the Test with the joy of winning the last match of the T20 series. Again the Ireland captain is unfamiliar with the ground in Dhaka. Along with the Bangladeshi cricketers, the European team will also have to face the challenge of the conditions. But the format is a test, so the question remains. As strong as Bangladesh is in ODI cricket, Bangladesh is not as established in Tests. In total, the Tigers have won only 16 matches in 136 matches in their 22-year history. Lost in 102 matches and drew in 18 matches. In the last two Test Championships, Bangladesh was at the very bottom of the table. Despite playing a full series against Ireland, this is the Tigers’ first match in Mirpur. The coach and captain must check the pitch condition before the match. This Mirpur pitch against the Irish has been made pace-dependent. And if it is made for pacers, there is a possibility of playing three pacers in the Tiger team today. Test team of Bangladesh Shakib Al Hasan (Captain), Liton Das, Tamim Iqbal, Sadman Islam, Nazmul Islam Shanto, Muminul Haque, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mehdi Hasan Miraj, Taijul Islam, Rezaur Rahman Raza, Khaled Ahmed, Ebadat Hossain, Shariful Islam, and Mahmudul Hasan Joy.
