Bangladesh will be hosting Ireland for the next T20I match of the tri-match series. The 2nd T20I will be played at the Bir Sreshtho Flight Lieutenant Matiur Rahman Stadium on November 29. The action will be live for fans from 5:30 PM IST.

Bangladesh

Bangladesh has bitten the dust in the 1st T20I with a shambolic loss against a team whom they have dominated in T20Is in the past. Top knock from Harry Tector, and a 4-fer of Matthew Humphreys inflicted the pain in the curtain raiser of the series.

While the match was lost by Bangladesh with a heavy top-order and middle-order batting collapse, the Litton Das-led team would like to bounce back if they want to stay alive in the series.

Ireland

Ireland is 1-0 up after a solid performance with the bat against the hosts. In fact, Barry McCarthy's 3-wicket haul and Humphreys' wrath were the actual reason behind Ireland's defense of a 182-run target.

Though skipper Paul Stirling disappointed with a low score, he will be ready to make up for it in the next outing, beside star performer Harry Tector.

Bir Sreshtho Flight Lieutenant Matiur Rahman Stadium pitch report

The pitch here is usually a slow one that favours spinners, and teams batting second often struggle to score runs. Notably, this typical subcontinental surface has recently seen teams batting first post totals of 180-plus in the first 20 overs, and another high-scoring contest is expected in the upcoming clash if teams can survive the early pace attack.
