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.
With the way Ireland performed till the 40th over, they were in control of the match and expected them to win the match easily but the breakthrough from Najmul Hossain Shanto started the Ireland's downfall and Mustafizur Rahman returned to bowl his quota and started picking wickets and started restricting the run flow and Hasan Mahmud bowled a wonderful final over that helped Bangladesh win the match and the series.
The inexperience of fhe team can be understood from their performance. If the same situation have happened with an experienced team, surely this could've been an easy win for them. With the win Bangladesh holds the series. Shanto is really good with their batting. Bangladesh won the series, but the win isn't one sided which will keep Ireland happy. Even today's match is a very close encounter.
