Shiva: "Never seen 5 consecutive catches by fielder in getting wickets."

RUKUN: "@kavin I don't think this is really a slow pitch which justified by the pitch report that the par score of this pitch is around 170. So it's a good bowling show by the Bangladeshi bowlers and a poor execution by Ireland batters."

AA: "not sure why people are complaining about the pitches. BD has prepared good pitches for these matches. Bowlers are not there as props for batsmen to tee off. "

Rishad Hossain: "I am very focused on the role and working on my variations. Prior to the World Cup, the team has the BPL, so they are well prepared and we are very confident about chasing the target today."

From our correspondent, Mohammad Isam: Tanzid Hasan becomes the first outfielder from an FM nation to take five catches in a T20I match. Before him, Maldives' Wedage Malinda and Sedik Sahak of Sweden took 5 catches in a T20I.

3:33 pm Ireland will be disappointed with how their innings ended, but Bangladesh will be jubilant with the turnaround! The Irish skipper, Paul Stirling, gave them a lively start with three boundaries in the first over, but not before Saifuddin dropped him on 15, a missed chance that thankfully didn't prove costly. Shoriful broke the partnership, bowling Tim Tector. Mustafizur struck in the 6th over, picking up Harry Tector and ensuring Ireland finished the Powerplay on 51/2. From there, the wheels came off. Ireland kept losing wickets and failed to build any significant partnership, struggling in the middle overs as runs and boundaries dried up. Rishad Hossain and Mustafizur Rahman were the chief destroyers, each picking up three wickets. We will be back for the run chase after a short break.

Bangladesh need 118 runs to win

Saifuddin to bowl the last over

Aziz: "I don't think its about fear of failure, It's a day game and pitches on day games tend to be much slower. (At least I hope that's the logical explanation)"

Around the wicket

Rifat: "Kavin, it's not a slow surface, its a very batting friendly deck, Ireland was 50 after 5 overs, after that it's a mixture of good bowling and poor application by the batters. Give credit where it's due."

JamiL: "Today's performance will definitely BOOST up Rishad Hossain before going to Big-Bash Journey. Goood luck ....!!! "

kavin: "Bangladesh's management seems to have fear failure -- the moment they lose one match or win the next by a small margin, they go into a shell. They've prepared a slower surface for this game, but Bangladesh really need to play on good batting tracks if they want to get ready for international cricket. They might lose some matches, but in the long run they'll gain valuable experience."
