BAN vs IRE, 3rd T20I Preview

With Bangladesh already 2-0 up in the three-match IT20 series, they take on Ireland for the final time at the Zohur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium on Friday afternoon. Bangladesh have won by margins of 22 runs (DLS) in the first match and 77 runs in the second game on Wednesday. Even with a rain-reduced 17 over aside game on Wednesday, Bangladesh were still able to record a very large victory in this format. It would be a big surprise if they did not win convincingly again in this match. There were a couple of positives for Ireland in the last IT20 but they were still well beaten. Overall they have found this tour to be extremely tough.

Topmost Picks for BAN vs IRE Dream11 Prediction, 3rd T20I:

Top Picks – Bangladesh

• Taskin Ahmed – The 27 year old fast bowler took four of the five Irish wickets in the first game. Ross Adair was the only batter who was dismissed by someone other than Taskin.
• Litton Das – The keeper-batter began the month in poor form but comes into this match after hitting 167 runs from his last three innings.

Top Picks – Ireland

• Paul Stirling – the skipper got his side off to an excellent start with four fours from his eight ball innings. He has experience of playing on low bounce wickets like in this match.
• Lorcan Tucker – The keeper-batter stumped the dangerous Najmul Hossain Shanto but lasted only two balls with the bat on Monday. He is capable of winning a game in any format with the bat.

BAN vs IRE 3rd T20I Probable Winners:

Bangladesh broke more records in the second IT20 with Litton Das hitting their fastest 50 and the team registering their biggest victory, in terms of runs, against Ireland in this format. Shanto has had an excellent 2023 and needs 18 runs in this match to bring up 2000 international runs. Talukdar has hit 111 runs in the first two games of this series. There were positive moments for Ben White and Curtis Campher for Ireland but they have been second-best throughout this tour. Considering the team combination, Bangladesh is expected to win this match.
