IRE vs BAN Dream11 prediction: 3 players you could pick as captain or vice-captain for today’s Ireland vs Bangladesh 1st ODI – May 9, 2023
Ireland (IRE) and Bangladesh (BAN) are set to face each other in the first game of the three-match ODI series on Tuesday, May 9. The County Ground in Chelmsford will host the contest.
A month ago, Ireland struggled in their ODI and T20I fixtures in Bangladesh. But now, they are expected to thrive since they will be playing in favourable conditions. Tamim Iqbal’s Tigers, however, will start as favourites since they have more experience in their ranks.
On that note, here are three players whom you could pick as captain or vice-captain for your Dream11 team for the IRE vs BAN game:
#3 Shakib Al Hasan (BAN) – 9 credits
Shakib Al Hasan is a player fantasy users should pick for the IRE vs BAN match. The southpaw recently became the fastest cricketer to reach the dual mark of 7000 runs and 300 wickets in ODIs. He is regarded as one of the greatest all-rounders in limited-overs cricket history. Shakib also thrivers in English conditions as was seen in the World Cup 2019.
#2 Litton Das (BAN) – 8 credits
Litton Das had a rough outing in the IPL and had to leave after only one match. But the Dinajpur-born batter is more than capable of piling on the runs. Last year, he broke Mushfiqur Rahim’s record of most runs by a Bangladeshi batter in a calendar year. If he gets going, bowlers will find it tough to stop him. Hence, fantasy users should pick him for the IRE vs BAN match.
#1 Harry Tector (IRE) – 8.5 credits
Harry Tector has been a revelation for Ireland in the middle-order and should be picked for the IRE vs BAN game. In 29 ODIs, the right-handed batter has scored 1074 runs at an average of 48.81 and a strike-rate of 80.26 with three centuries and eight half-centuries to show for his efforts.
