IRE vs BAN Dream11 Prediction 2nd ODI Ireland vs Bangladesh Playing 11, Top Picks, Fantasy Cricket Tips

Ireland lock horns against Bangladesh in the 2nd match of the three-match ODI Series at County Ground, Chelmsford on 12th May, Friday at 3:15 PM IST.

Ireland bowled pretty well in the first game and had Bangladesh in all sorts of trouble at 52-3 when they dismissed Shakib Al Hasan. However, they allowed the opposition to get away at a crucial moment of the game. Mushfiqur Rahim cashed in on that and scored a gritty fifty and put up small partnerships with every batter that came in.

Ireland’s best bowler of the day went for 61 in the end but he’s scalped 3 crucial wickets that set up the chase beautifully for them. Before the rain arrived, Ireland were in all sorts of trouble as they lost Paul Stirling, Stephen Doheny, and Andy Balbirnie pretty cheaply.

Bangladesh’s middle order stepped up when they lost Tamim Iqbal and Litton Das early in the first innings. Mushfiqur Rahim stood tall and scored a vital 61. Najmul Hossain Shanto impressed with his 44 and then some starts from the rest of the batters got them to runs on the board. It was Hasan Mahmud and Shoriful Islam who put pressure early on and picked up two wickets. Taijul Islam picked up the wicket of the Irish skipper before the rain arrived.
