Bangladesh restricted Ireland to just 117 runs in their innings during the match held in Chattogram. After a strong start in the powerplay, Ireland lost momentum as Bangladeshi leg-spinner Rishad Hossain delivered an impressive spell that dismantled their middle order. Despite opener Paul Stirling’s effort of 38 runs, the Irish batting lineup collapsed under pressure and failed to recover. Ireland were bowled out in 19.5 overs, unable to build any significant partnerships. The disciplined bowling attack from Bangladesh, led by Rishad, ensured that Ireland’s innings ended well below a competitive total, setting up a strong position for the home side to chase.
