7:54pm Good score overall for Ireland. Having said that, they were 75 after the powerplay. Tim Tector and Stirling got off to a flier. But then, Bangladesh's pacers realised they can go slow and into the pitch and the spinners that they can go fast. The last 84 balls fetch just the 95 runs. That's because of Mahedi, who took a three-for, and the other bowlers either took wickets or were economical. Tucker made a handy 41, Dockrell and Delany had a couple of handy cameos.
