Bangladesh is expected to win the game and win the series 2-0. Bangladesh has edged out Ireland 9 times compared to Ireland 2 times in the ODI format. Ireland has a formidable side and they are playing in conditions that are very similar to home. Bangladesh was on its way to winning the first game before the rain had its final say. With the weather forecast again suggesting a large time of the game could be lost to rain, this match could end up as a shortened-overs contest. Considering the team combination, Bangladesh is expected to win this match.
