Bangladesh vs Ireland Team Preview

Bangladesh

Bangladesh’s conditions are fairly distinctive, with considerable pace on the wicket but minimal bounce, and the hosts are experts at playing in them. They were simply too strong for Ireland in the One-Day Internationals, and we may expect more of the same.

Alan Donald’s team has grown in confidence as victories in white ball internationals have come thick and quick this month. The squad is injury-free, and their understanding of the local conditions will be key in this match.

Ireland

Ireland’s first-choice team is unavailable, but they still have a quality roster. Yet, they face a very solid and in-form Bangladesh side that is incredibly steady at home.

With Barry McCarthy injured and Josh Little missing for this trip, Ireland’s bowling attack will be slightly depleted in this encounter. With the bat, it will be intriguing to see how the aggressive duo of Paul Stirling and Ross Adair handle opening together for the first time at this level.
