What happened to Bangladesh's batting order? 4 wickets were lost for only 176 runs after the 32nd over. I did not expect such poor batting by the Bangladesh team. I hope they recover and put on a decent target of 250 or more for Ireland. The only good news is that Tamim Iqbal is still batting. He needs to continue as long as he can. The need of this hour is that both the Captain and WK should form a partnership.
Bangladesh's innings ended at 274 runs. At the beginning of the game, the run rate was around 7 until the first 20 overs, from there the batsmen could have made this score a little bigger if they wanted.
As in the second ODI match, no one could bat responsibly for Bangladesh today.
Although Tamim Iqbal, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mehidy Hasan, Liton Das, Nazmul Hossain Shanto made small efforts, the score of Bangladesh finally reached 278 runs. Had Mushfiqur Rahim and Mehidy Hasan not given away their wickets like this, some more runs would have come towards the end.
While Ireland scored 320 plus runs against Bangladesh in 45 overs, Bangladesh scored 278 runs in 50 overs. It remains to be seen how long Bangladesh will fight against Ireland with a capital of only 278 runs.
