BAN Vs IRE , Match Delay Due to Rain
The first ODI between Bangladesh and Ireland in England was abandoned due to rain and the second match has so far been delayed due to rain. It is likely that today's match will be delayed due to rain and the special rules will reduce the number of overs played. Today's match is expected to be played in 45 overs and the game is likely to start in 30 minutes. However, due to the rain, it is not possible to say for sure what will happen next in the match.
Update continuing...
The second ODI match between Bangladesh and Ireland is finally going to take place after the toss was stopped due to rain.
50 overs to 45 overs have been decided considering the time lost due to rain. And already the captains of both the teams have completed the toss and Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal won the toss and decided to field first against Ireland.
Winning the toss in today's match was very important for both teams because after rain the pitch is usually very fast where fast bowlers get a lot of advantage and it is very difficult for the batsmen to deal with the ball in the first innings maybe Bangladesh wants to use that opportunity.
In the second ODI match, Bangladesh is going to enter the field with an unchanged squad against Ireland.
