Ireland are back to playing this ODI series after a long tour of Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. Even though they lost many games in the tour, it was a learning curve as Ireland got to face Sri Lanka in the tests for the first time. Ireland also played against Bangladesh in Bangladesh in the Only Test.
All in all, Ireland players have got some experience playing big teams and will be interesting to see how they fare in this ODI series. Players like Harry Tector, Lorcan Tucker, and George Dockrell are rising high in the ranks. With experience in the side from Andy Balbirnie, Mark Adair and Paul Stirling makes a strong side.
Bangladesh on the other hand have a strong ODI side and with World Cup coming up soon, they need to sort out a few things before they are ready for the big tournament. Bangladesh has a good mix of young players and experience. Mushfiqur Rahim, Shakib Al Hasan and Tamim Iqbal are the strong pillars of the batting. Litton Das and Najmul Hossain Shanto will learn plenty from this series.
They have Mustafizur Rahman who leads the pack with the ball has someone like Hasan Mahmud who’s got raw pace and then Ebadot Hossain who’s a terrific bowler in the line-up.
