The Tigers, who are in control of the Irish bowling ball, are 7 wickets short
Batting with the aim of whitewashing Ireland, Bangladesh indicated a big collection in the batting in an aggressive mood at the beginning. However, the Tigers lost 7 wickets before half way through the innings. Shakib Al Hasan's team is in danger of being folded in the face of the bowling cannon of the Irish.
Today (March 31) Tiger captain Shakib Al Hasan won the toss and decided to bat at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chittagong in Sagarika. Liton Das started the innings with a four off Irish pacer Fionn Hand on the first ball of the innings. But the country's best batsman couldn't keep that pace anymore.
Until this report was written, the representatives of the Red Green have scored only 64 runs after losing 7 wickets in 10 overs. Shamim Patwari is batting for 12 runs and Nasum Ahmed is batting for 2 runs.
In the second over, he took the catch at third man while slashing Mark Adair's first ball well outside the off stump. Liton got out with 5 runs. As a result, after 91 and 124 runs, the opening pair broke in just 9 runs.
Then, in the last ball of the third over, Nazmul Hossain Shanto returned with a catch in the hands of Kurtish Camper, part-time spinner Harry Tector. He scored 4 runs off 8 balls before leaving. Rony Talukder, another opener, left soon after that.
Despite losing a couple of wickets, his attacking batting showed some hope. However, he returned to the pavilion after scoring 14 individual runs while the team had 24 runs. On this day, Shakib himself joined the procession of failure. The Tiger skipper returned with a simple catch in the hands of White while pulling in the last over of the power play. 6 runs came from his bat before returning to the dressing room.
Tawhid Hriday gave away his own wicket at the head of the team's 41 runs. The young batsman scored 12 runs in an even four-six with a catch by Harry Tector off White's ball. After that, Bangladesh lost a pair of wickets for the team's 61 runs. Taskin returned empty-handed after the anointed Rishad Hossain departed after scoring 8 runs.
