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.
In another nail-biting finish Bangladesh triumphed over Ireland securing a thrilling victory by a margin of 4 runs. The win ensured Bangladesh a clean sweep of the ODI series which ended 2-0 in their favour. Mustafizur Rahman emerged as the hero of the match claiming 4 wickets while conceding just 44 runs in his 10 overs. Despite a valiant effort from the Irish batsmen including a formidable partnership of 109 runs in the second wicket Ireland fell just 4 runs short of their target of 274 While L. Tucker scored 50 runs and M Adair 20 runs fought hard but Bangladesh disciplined bowling proved decisive as they maintained control throughout and clean sweep ODi Series by 2-0.
Once again we have a very close match between the two teams and Bangladesh won by a margin of only 5 runs. Batting first Bangladesh scored 274 runs. The captain and the opener lead from the front and scored 69 runs. Mushfiqur Rahim also scored 45 runs and every batsmen played their part in order for them to reach this score.
Ireland also responded well with Paul Stirling 60 runs, Andy Balbirnie 53 runs , Harry Tector 45 runs and Lorcan Tucker 50 runs. They had a very good chance to win this match but unfortunately could not finish.
It was an interesting series to watch and Bangladesh come out as a winner with 2-0.
