3rd ODI: Bangladesh 274 (Tamim 69, Mushfiqur 45, Adair 4-40) beat Ireland 269 for 9 (Stirling 60, Balbirnie 53, Mustafizur 4-44) by five runs

With a stunning bowling performance against Ireland, particularly in the final ten overs to defend 274, Bangladesh clinched the ODI series 2-0. Mustafizur Rahman took his 10th four-wicket pull in ODIs, however Hasan Mahmud bossed the last three overs, taking two wickets in the last over in which he effectively shielded nine runs.

Ireland will mourn how they batted in the last nine overs when they required only 52 hurries to even out the series with seven wickets close by. The captaincy of Tamim Iqbal surpassed them. To begin, very late in the game, he brought in part-timer Najmul Hossain Shanto to take Harry Tector’s wicket for 45. The left-arm quick took three wickets in his final over to repay his captain’s faith after Tamim took a chance to end Mustafizur by the 47th over.

Ireland couldn’t exploit two major organizations, however Imprint Adair, whose four-wicket pull helped bowl out Bangladesh in 48.5 overs, might have completed the task with the bat. In the final three overs, he hit two fours and a six, but when he needed ten to win, he missed the scoop against Mahmud’s slower ball and was bowled for 20 off 10. Andy McBrine edged the third ball to short third where Mrittunjoy Chowdhury required his subsequent great catch on debut.

A lot of their good work with bat and ball was undone when Ireland lost their last six wickets for 41 runs. Paul Stirling, Andy Balbirnie and Lorcan Exhaust struck fifties while Adair took a four-wicket pull. From their 16 overs, Ireland’s spinners combined to score four for 70.

When Stephen Doheny was caught at second slip by Mustafizur, Ireland lost their usual first wicket quickly

Doheny’s misery persisted throughout the series, with 16 balls required to score four runs this time. However, they were saved by Stirling and Balbirnie, an established Irish firm. Stirling struck Chowdhury for a six over cover, prior to bursting Mahmud with a pulled six.

They reached their fifties in consecutive overs and became the first Irish pair to score seven centuries in one-day internationals. Balbirnie attempted to hit Ebadot Hossain for a six over deep square leg, but debutant Rony Talukdar took a good catch and fell for 53 off 78 runs, breaking their 109-run partnership for the second wicket. Shortly after, the other rookie made a better catch. Stirling’s outside edge against Mehidy Hasan Miraz nearly crossed short third, but Chowdhury jumped high to make the catch and returned Stirling to 60 off 73 balls.

The young players from Ireland then occupied the middle. The in-structure Tector and Exhaust added 79 runs for the fourth wicket, in the accompanying 10.4 overs. Before a spur of the moment moment of inspiration broke the partnership, they expertly timed the chase. In the 42nd over, when Tamim brought in Shanto, Tector holed out to long-on, where Litton Das made a great diving catch. In his 69th match for Bangladesh, Tector picked up his first international wicket, scoring 45 off 48 deliveries.

Knowing that he would not have the death-overs expert right at the end, Tamim brought Mustafizur back with eight overs remaining. The captain was rewarded by Mustafizur, who took three wickets in consecutive overs. Tucker was skied to mid-off by Curtis Campher before George Dockrell hit one straight to Yasir Ali, the substitute fielder, at cover, and Tucker was bowled for 50.

When Balbirnie, Tamim’s opponent, dropped him on 1 in the third over at second slip, he had a lucky start to the game. However, Talukdar did not have much luck in the subsequent over; His ferocious drive at Adair resulted in a limp edge hitting the wicketkeeper.

However, Ireland’s first powerplay was very sloppy, with a lot of extras and even a misfield. However, Balbirnie set things straight in the eleventh over whenever he got a harder opportunity to one side off Shanto’s bat.

Litton assumed a temporary middle-order position without Shakib Al Hasan, who was sidelined by a finger injury. He and Tamim added 70 runs for the third wicket. Litton played for the most part inside himself, hitting a six and three fours in his 35 off 39 balls. His excuse was a strange one: He started to back away and tried to slog McBrine, getting into a mess. In the end, mid-off caught him easily.

Dockrell got among the wickets next, when he bowled Towhid Hridoy who passed up a remove while sponsorship. Between the two wickets, Tamim arrived at his fifty in the 27th over, working the ball around for the most part ones and twos in a patient thump. However, in the 34th over, Tamim wildly swung at Dockrell and was caught at short third for 69.

Mushfiqur and Mehidy held their own despite the somewhat dire circumstances, rotating the strike and also locating the odd boundary. After Mushfiqur hit his one and only six, the pair added 75 runs for the sixth wicket before Mushfiqur dropped the ball. With less than five innings remaining, McBrine had him lbw for 45.

Bangladesh’s long tail came into focus when their final five wickets were lost for just 13 runs. After Mehidy fell for 37, Mahmud, Mustafizur and Chowdhury couldn’t add a lot to the total.

Ireland and Bangladesh are set to face each other in the second game of the three-match ODI series on Friday, May 12. The County Ground in Chelmsford will host the contest.

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.

The first ODI will leave South Africa breathing a little easier as both sides prepare for another battle. Bangladesh, will be feeling pleased with how their side has settled in and should be pretty confident for the upcoming fixture.
