COMMENTARY

Shakib Al Hasan collects the trophy for winning the series 2-1 and is joined by his teammates to celebrate yet another series win! Ireland will be proud of their effort in this game and now the focus shifts to the last phase of the tour as the two teams clash in a one-off Test match. That game will be played on Tuesday 4th April and the match will start at 9.30 am IST (4 am GMT) but as you know you can join us well in advance for the build-up. Until then, goodbye and cheers!

Paul Sterling the skipper of Ireland is also the Player of the Match for his quickfire 77 in 41 balls. He says that the bowlers set the tone for this game with a brilliant bowling performance in the final game and they batted well to get across the line. He adds that the credit should be given to the bowlers as they have had a really hard tour but to perform with this confidence and to execute their plans in this game is commendable. He also adds that the team is improving and they are sometimes slow off the blocks but the team is getting better as the games come thick and fast for them. He closes by saying that good luck to them in picking the team for the Test match as it's been a while since they played their last Test game and everyone is excited.

Taskin Ahmed is awarded the Player of the Series for his 8 wickets. He says that he wanted to believe in himself even if the wicket was flat and wanted to stick to his plans. Adds that in the last few years, they have been working hard, and from that, they have built the belief to try and become one of the most dangerous bowling attacks in the world.

Shakib Al Hasan the captain of Bangladesh says that the batters did not bat well and they will continue with the same attacking approach in the future also as this is what the team is looking forward to going ahead to become a successful team all around the globe. He adds that the team will be traveling back to Dhaka and are looking forward to performing well in the Test match as well. He also adds that they played the same way they did in the first two games but credit to Ireland as they outplayed them.

Time for the presentations...

Ireland came out to bat with intent as they looked to overcome the target in a hurry but they lost Lorcan Tucker and Ross Adair early. Paul Stirling continued to attack and scored a wonderful 77 in just 41 balls to make this run chase a walk in the park. He put together a 68-run partnership for the third wicket with Harry Tector to get his team close to the target before he was dismissed. Curtis Campher added the finishing touches but most of the credit has to go to the bowlers. Six bowlers were used and they all picked up at least a wicket with Mark Adair the pick of the bowlers claiming three and conceding 25 runs. Shamim Hossain put up a fight and got to his half-century but his effort was in vain.

This is a historic win for Ireland as they pick up their first win against Bangladesh away from home! In fact, this is the first time that they have beaten an Asian team in the subcontinent in their history and they have done it in a comprehensive fashion! They may have lost the series but this win will definitely give the Irish ample confidence going into the on-off Test match. Bangladesh seemed to be a bit too confident coming into this game and did not put enough on the board for the bowlers to defend. Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam, and Rishad Hossain claimed one wicket each but could not restrict the scoring as they lost with 6 overs to spare.

COMMENTARY

End of over

BAN124 (19.2 Ovs)

The players are out in the middle. Paul Stirling and Ross Adair are out for Ireland. Taskin Ahmed will start the attack with the new ball.

...CHASE BEGINS...

For Ireland, Mark Adair was sensational as he scalped three wickets. He was well helped by Matthew Humphreys who took a brace, while everyone else chipped in with a wicket too. Finally, a test for this youthful Bangladesh bowling unit as they would be hoping to stand up and deliver in a low-scoring game. Chase begins on the other side.

After winning the toss and electing to bat nothing went well for the hosts as they kept losing wickets regularly and never got any partnership going between the batters. It was only for Shamim Hossain to stand up and help the team with his maiden Half-century to post a total that the bowlers might well fight for. At one stage Bangladesh was staring at an all-out under 100 but a brilliant partnership between Shamim Hossain and Nasum Ahmed of 33 runs helped the side to post 124 on the scoreboard.

For the first time on this tour, Ireland is in the driving seat at the halfway mark of a game. Bangladesh has been bundled out for 124 runs and a lot of credit must go to a proactive captaincy by Paul Stirling as his bowling changes were on point. The ultra-aggressive approach from the Bangladesh batters has backfired in this third and final T20I.

Pitch Report - There is a bit of grass around but looks like a batting paradise. Batters should look to consolidate and not lose wickets early while picking the right balls to hit and have a solid defense. They will find the opportunity to score runs and pick up boundaries.

Paul Stirling the captain of Ireland informs that they have one change. Says that it is a used deck and they will sees what happens early on. Adds that runs are there to be had and they as batters need to see what has to be done.

Shakib Al Hasan the skipper of Bangladesh says they would like to bat first as in the last two games they have done the same and it has worked well so the team would like to continue that. He adds that the side has a couple of changes with the leggy Rishad Hossain getting his maiden T20I cap for the national side. He closes by saying that the crowd has been supportive of the team and he expects exactly the same today.

Ireland (Playing XI) - Paul Stirling (C), Ross Adair, Lorcan Tucker (WK), Harry Tector, Curtis Campher, George Dockrell, Gareth Delany, Mark Adair, Fionn Hand, Matthew Humphreys (Replaces Graham Hume), Benjamin White.
