The rain created an extra chance but the Irish could not capitalize on it. Besides securing the series by winning by 10 wickets in Sylhet today, the Tigers also set a record. This is the first time in their ODI history that Tamim's team has reached the goal of victory without losing any wicket.

Taskin Ahmed-Hasan Mahmud took advantage of the pace-friendly conditions. Bangladesh had to wait till the fifth over to see a wicket even though the Irish were stopped from running from the start. Hasan bowled the third ball of the over to a good length outside the off-stump, accompanied by extra pace and was defeated by Doheny. 8 runs from 21 balls came from his bat before being caught by Mushfiqur Rahim behind the wicket.

Then Hasan became even more formidable when he returned to the attack in the ninth over. The Irish batters have seen flowers in their eyes to play this pacer. This time Hasan threw it to a good length outside the off stump. The in-swinging ball, which Sterling could not play with the bat, hit his pads directly. The umpire did not take much time to respond to Hasan's request. This experienced opener scored 7 runs off 12 balls before returning to the dugout.

Hasan struck again two balls after Sterling returned. This time his victim is Harry Tucker. Hasan kept the fourth ball of the over on the back of length, from there the batsman was completely defeated by batting. Hasan appealed when the ball hit his leg. But the umpire did not respond. As a result, Tamim Iqbal took the review. And then the umpire was forced to change his decision and give out. Tactor could not open the account of runs even after playing 3 balls before returning to the dressing room.

Taskin Ahmed also hit the attack in the next over. The second ball of the over was bowled slightly short of length by Taskin outside the off stump, where he stood without footwork and was caught at slip by Andy Burlbirnie. And Nazmul Hossain Shanto who was in the second slip did not make any mistake. When the captain returned with 6 runs, the Irish lost 4 batsmen of the top order for 26 runs.

When Ireland lost their top-order batsmen before the team crossed thirty runs, Kurtis Camper led the team along with Tucker. With the tenacity of these two, the Irish completed their half-century without losing another wicket. The next story is only Bangladesh pacers. They ruled in Sylhet today.

However, Ebadat Hossain did not let Tucker advance too far. This pacer joined the 'wicket party' with Taskin-Hassan in the attack of the 19th over. Tucker missed the line on the fifth ball of the over, hitting his pads. The fifth wicket stand of 42 runs was broken when this batsman returned with 28 runs in the leg before trap. Ibadat made a dream delivery in the next ball. Judge Dockrell defeated by light insui falling outside the off stamp. With that, his off stamp fell a few hands away after eating a few digbajis.
