Ireland vs Bangladesh, 2nd ODI: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Weather Forecast, Pitch Report, and Live Streaming Details
Ireland and Bangladesh are all set to lock horns in the second game of the three-match ODI series. The County Ground in Chelmsford will host the contest on Friday, May 12.
The first ODI match between both teams ended in a no contest as the rain played spoilsport. This also means that the Irish team have missed out on a direct qualification in the ODI World Cup, scheduled to take place later this year in India. They will now be taking part in the World Cup qualifiers to secure a place in the competition.
Bowling first, Joshua Little picked up three crucial wickets as Ireland restricted Bangladesh to a below-par total of 246/9 in 50 overs. Mushfiqur Rahim played an important knock of 61 runs off 70 balls to help his team post a competitive total on the board.
In response, Bangladesh bowlers put on a great bowling performance as the Irish team were reeling at 65/3 before the game stopped due to the rain.
Both teams will be eager to make a mark in the second match of the series and take a lead going into the series decider.
