Bangladesh confirmed the series with one match in hand

Pacers always get extra advantage in rain interrupted matches. Because extra pace and swing in wet conditions is very difficult for batsmen to play. However, Shakib proved these mistakes today in Chittagong. This left-arm spinner single-handedly crushed the Irish. Sterling's team is blue because of his spin. Bangladesh confirmed the series with a 77-run win in the second T20I with one match in hand.

On Wednesday (March 29), Bangladesh lost the toss and lost the toss to bat in the series-defining match at Zahoor Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chittagong, losing 3 wickets and collecting 202 runs. Where the highest 83 runs came from Liton's bat. In response, the Irish were caught in Shakib's whirlwind net. Ireland scored 125 runs by losing 9 wickets in the scheduled 17 overs on the day of the Bangladesh captain's 5 wickets. Shakib took 5 wickets for 22 runs.

Ireland stumbled early in their pursuit of a big goal. Paul Stirling returned to the dressing room with the first ball of the innings. A good length ball by Taskin outside the off stump could not keep the bat on the ball line while defending. As the ball has little swing, the ball hits the outside edge of his bat and goes behind the wicket, where Lytton dives to the right and glove the ball. This experienced opener ate the golden duck.

In the next over, Shakib also got hurt in the attack. The spinner's first ball was a length delivery. Lorcan Tucker was caught by Ronnie Talukder while sweeping there. The top order batsman scored 6 runs in 5 balls before returning to the dressing room.

After losing two wickets in the first two overs, Harry Taktor became aggressive after getting Nasum in the third over. This spinner collected 14 runs in two sixes from the first over. But in the next over, Shakib took the wicket again with the first ball. This time his armball completely defeated Ross Adair. The ball evades his bat-pad and hits the stumps directly. Before Sajghar's return, 6 runs came from his bat.

Shakib ended his second over with a wicket. Gave flight in his last ball. And Gareth Delaney went to play the shot with a half. This batsman who scored 6 runs was caught behind the wicket if the bat-ball timing was not correct.

After taking three wickets in his first two overs, Shakib hit a couple of blows in his third over. Dockrell didn't bat the third ball of the sixth over of the innings, hitting his pads directly. The umpire did not respond to the appeal. Later Shakib took the review. As a result, the umpire was forced to give out.

Taktor was bowled by Shakib's arm delivery in the last ball of the same over. Shakib returned this batsman for 22 runs and made a feat of taking 5 wickets in the innings. This is the second fifer in his T20 career. Besides, Shakib also holds the record of highest wicket taker in T20 International.

After losing 6 wickets for 43 runs, the Irish tried to turn around with the bat of Camper and Mark Adair. But Camper could not score more than 50 runs. And the tail row batters tried, but it only narrowed the gap. The Irish could not avoid defeat.

Earlier, the match started after two rounds of rain, but the two openers of Bangladesh, Liton Das and Rony Talukder, batted aggressively from the first over. The team completed their half-century by playing 3 over 3 balls in their stormy batting.

In particular, Lytton has been crushing the Irish pacers. Touched a personal half century in 18 balls. Which is the fastest in the cricket history of Bangladesh. This wicketkeeper batsman broke Mohammad Ashraful's 20-ball half-century record and created a new history.

Lytton became more formidable after the half-century. On the other end, Ronnie also batted aggressively. The Tigers completed the team's century with 6 overs 1 in all. Then they set a record for the opening pair. Liton-Rony surpassed Naeem Sheikh and Soumya Sarkar's 102-run partnership.

The opening pair of 124 runs was broken when Ronnie departed after scoring 44 runs. Ronnie, who was batting brilliantly, finally returned to the dressing room with the regret of not scoring a half century. Despite the departure of this opener, the pace of runs did not decrease a bit. Shakib opened the account with a four on the first ball of the wicket. As a result, Bangladesh scored 130 runs for 1 wicket at the end of 10 overs.

Liton not only set the record for the fastest fifty on the day, but also surpassed his highest run innings. His best innings so far in T20 was 73 runs. Exceeded that today. However, this wicketkeeper batsman could not score more than 83 runs. In the last ball of the 12th over, he was caught behind the wicket while cutting Ben White's off-stump ball. His innings of 41 balls had 10 fours along with 3 sixes.

Lytton's departure has an impact on the run rate. Batting at number three, Shakib suffered a bit in the opening shots. However, the captain became aggressive with time. On the other hand, Tawhid Hriday, who was promoted to number four in the batting order, was fluent from the start. The young batsman hit an 83 meter long six on his second ball of the game.

Hriday added 24 runs in the last over of the innings before Saj returned home. His 13-ball innings had a six along with 3 fours. And Shakib remained unbeaten with 38 runs off 24 balls. Bangladesh stopped at 202 runs after losing 3 wickets in 17 overs due to their great batting.
