BAN vs IRE, 1st T20I Preview

The Tigers start a three-match IT20 series against Ireland in Chittagong on Monday after losing a one-sided three-match ODI series against Bangladesh 2-0. In a home series in this format earlier this month, Bangladesh defeated England 3-0 while Ireland suffered a 2-1 defeat in Zimbabwe. With a surface that has considerable pace but a low bounce, the circumstances in Bangladesh are rather unusual, and the local players are adept at playing in them. We anticipate more of the same from them since they were simply too powerful for Ireland in the ODIs. Ireland has a good squad despite not having their starting lineup available.

BAN vs IRE 1st T20I Probable Winners:

It would be very difficult for Ireland to go to Bangladesh and win an IT20 series, even with their best bowling lineup. As the ball softens in the final five overs of each inning, we anticipate a low-scoring game with particularly challenging boundaries. Bangladesh should be the team with the better bat and ball due to their extremely high level of confidence. In general, we believe Bangladesh will win handily. Considering the team combination, Bangladesh is expected to win this match.
