Bangladesh ended on 274 and I have to mention that there are 26 extra given from Ireland. Without that, Bangladesh wouldn't have been able to reach 250. The late middle order and low order absolutely performed badly in this match.
Right now Ireland is doing well to keep wickets in hand. Bangladesh is not being able to get regular wickets like Ireland did. Ireland needs 119 from 17.4 overs. Even though the required run rate is almost at 7, I would say that it is still doable with having 7 wickets in hand.

Ireland are in very good position to win this game and level the series 1-1. They need 49 runs in 44 balls with 5 wickets in hands. After doing all the hard work Ireland are losing wickets in quick succession. Its a game very much in favor of Ireland but if they keep losing wickets like that then they are likely to lose this game. Its a good opportunity for Ireland to draw an ODI series against a test playing side.

The way Ireland started their innings I thought Ireland would win today's match very easily. They collected 109 runs in the second wicket pair. But at the end of 45 overs, the Ireland team collected 237 runs after losing 6 wickets. Ireland needs 38 runs from 30 balls. It doesn't seem easy to me. Lorcan Tucker and McBrine are batting at the crease. If Tucker can stay at the crease then Ireland has a chance of winning. But the bowling of Bangladesh's bowlers is now very controlled. They want to win the series 2-0. Bangladesh will try their best to win the match.

Hard luck for Ireland although they played really good but still they couldn't win the match , last over by Hasan mahmud was really good and responsible he didn't allow Ireland to score a boundary even and Bangladesh won because of that over.
