3.39pm Probably the first good day for the Irish bowlers in this series, and the visitors have a chance to end their white-ball leg of the tour on a high. Could have been much lesser for Bangladesh if not for Shamim's maiden T20I fifty. The left-hander was measured in his approach and the last man to fall for 51. Can't say the same for the rest of the batter, though. Bangladesh did not back down from their gung-ho approach and for once, it did not go in their favour. Litton fell in the first over, and Bangladesh has lost half their side in 6.3 overs. They were 61 for 7 at one stage and in real trouble to not even reach 100. But, Shamim, alongside the lower order helped them reach a respectable score. Can Ireland eke out their first win of the series, or will Bangladesh defend this? Join Shamya in a bit to find out.

Misbah: "BD bowling unit has more than the capability to restrict the visitors below this total, I believe. Time for the bowling and fielding unit to make up for their batters. Fingers crossed!"

Manmeet : "Ireland finally learning learning how to bowl in Bangladesh. Would like to see Stirling bring back his form and win this for Ireland now. "

Hand to Shamim Hossain, OUT, That's that! Shamim falls and Bangladesh are allout for 124! All seven bowlers used by Ireland have a wicket. Good length ball on the hips of Shamim, who gets across and helps it straight to deep backward square leg. Was a skimmer but was held well in the deep.

Ahamed: "What a brilliant fifty by Shamim, this will give him huge confidence, Bangladesh needs early wickets to make this match interesting! "

MR Adair to Shamim Hossain, FOUR, Maiden T20I fifty for Shamim! What a time to get this fifty! Gets across to the length ball and swoops it over fine leg, where the fielder runs behind, gets both hands to it but can't hang on. The ball trickles to the fence.

Ahamed: "It's not over yet folks, Ireland still have to score 100 "

Campher to Shamim Hossain, no run, Short of a length ball with the ball pitching well outside leg. He looks to flay it away by backing away, misses as the ball lobs to the keeper. Stifle appeal, not give. Hang on, they have taken a review. UltraEdge confirms there is no bat involved. And the ball pitched miles outside leg.

Campher to Shamim Hossain, SIX, Shot of the innings? Definitely, for me! That's a shot and a half! Length ball on middle, he turns around and reverse slogs it over point and the ball travels over the ropes. What a shot!
