Anver Azeez: "Surely the POM Tanzid Hasan for this swashbuckling knock along with 5 catches !!"
Rahman: "Bangladesh played like wounded tigers today."
4:48 pm Bangladesh started with an aggressive approach, but they lost their opener Saif Hassan in the fourth over and their skipper Litton Das just before the end of the Powerplay, finishing on 48/2. However, Tanzid Tamim and Parvez Hossain Emon quickly turned the tide. Their combined left-handed firepower was too much for the Irish bowlers to contain, especially as Ireland's bowling and fielding were sloppy. Tamim picked up his 11th T20I fifty and remained unbeaten on 55 runs off 36 balls, while Emon provided excellent support with an unbeaten 33 off 26. Ireland put up a glimpse of hope, but in the end, it wasn't enough. Young and Tector picked up one wicket each. Handshakes are exchanged between the two teams' players and staff. Post Match Presentation coming up shortly.
