Bangladesh vs Ireland Dream11 Prediction

Here are the best fantasy cricket picks for the match from IRE

• Harry Tector will be the key player for Ireland when it comes to batting. Tector had a brilliant series against Zimbabwe where he scored a brilliant century and a half-century. 

Andrew Balbirnie scored a stunning century in 1st ODI before he was retired hurt after a nasty blow to the helmet. The skipper is back for the big series and he will be raring to make a strong comeback. 

Joshua Little is also coming back after recovering from a hamstring injury. He was the highest wicket-taker for Ireland in the ODI series against Zimbabwe.
