Bangladesh executed a superb bowling and batting performance in the final T20 International against Ireland at the Bir Sreshtho Flight Lieutenant Matiur Rahman Stadium, Chattogram, securing a decisive eight-wicket victory and sealing the series 2-1.
Ireland Innings: Bowled Out for 117
After Ireland won the toss and elected to bat first, their innings failed to launch against the disciplined Bangladeshi attack, folding quickly for a low total of 117 runs in the final over (19.5 overs).
- Bowling Dominance: The hosts’ bowlers, led by the spin combination of Mahedi Hasan and Rishad Hossain, maintained relentless pressure from the Powerplay onwards. Mahedi Hasan was particularly instrumental throughout the series, consistently stifling the Irish middle order.
- Lack of Partnerships: The Irish batting unit struggled with application on a pitch that offered subtle assistance to the spinners, failing to form any substantial partnerships necessary to post a challenging total.
Bangladesh Chase: Clinical Finish Secures the Series
Chasing a modest target of 118 runs, Bangladesh made light work of the pursuit, clinching the victory with 38 balls remaining.
- Tamim’s Power: Opener Tanzid Hasan Tamim provided the early acceleration, ensuring Ireland’s bowlers could not build early pressure. Tamim’s quickfire innings saw him named Player of the Match for his decisive contribution.
- Litton’s Control: Captain Litton Das joined the charge, anchoring the chase with composure and finding the necessary boundaries to keep the required run rate negligible.
- Comfortable Win: Bangladesh strolled to the target, losing only two wickets, demonstrating their superiority in home conditions when the batting unit performs collectively.
