BAN vs IRE Dream11 Prediction: 1st T20I Match, Playing 11, Pitch Report and Fantasy Cricket Tips for Bangladesh vs Ireland Dream11 Team

Bangladesh lock horns against Ireland in the 1^st match of the three match T20I Series at  Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, Chattogram on 27^th March, Monday at 1:30 PM IST.

After annihilating Ireland in the ODI series, Bangladesh shift focus on the shorter format of the game. They meet Ireland in the 1^st T20I of the series. Bangladesh showed England a couple of weeks ago how tough they are as a side to beat at home. They whitewashed England and left them no option to come back in the series. Najmul Hossain Shanto has been consistent with the bat for them and was the player of the series. Mehidy Hasan Miraz picked up a four-for against England. Hasan Mahmud impressed in the ODI series that just concluded. Quite a power packed side this Bangladesh side has become at home.

Ireland on the other hand need to step up in all departments. They have been shot out for a paltry total in that final ODI. Last time they played a T20 series was against Zimbabwe in January which they lost to 1-2 to Zimbabwe. Batting has been the problem for Ireland in that series as well. Harry Tector and George Dockrell are quite a few names that stand out. Ireland are dearly missing Josh Little in this Bangladesh tour already.
