Ireland - Bangladesh

I am looking forward to Bangladesh vs Ireland series. Today the first ODI match of the series is going to be played in Chelmsford. The Bangladesh team is in very good form now in the ODI format. In the last two series, Bangladesh dominated and won against England and Ireland. The players of Bangladesh did a great performance. However, series two was Bangladesh's home match. And the Bangladesh team at home is always strong. However, this series against Ireland is going to be held in England. England pitches generally provide more support to pace bowlers. And so I am waiting to see how Bangladesh players perform on such a pitch.

Despite some early setbacks Bangladesh put up a decent total of 246/9 thanks to the impressive performances of Mushfiqur Rahim 61 runs and Nazmul Hasan Shanto 44 runs. Ireland needs 220 runs in 45 overs with 8 wickets in hand the match is still up for grabs. It will be interesting to see how Ireland's batsmen handle the pressure of the chase. Bangladesh's bowling department will have a crucial role to play in the rest of the match H. Muhmad and S. Islam pick up 2 wickets. Bangladesh may win this match their chances are 80%. Overall it promises to be an exciting match of cricket. The current score of Ireland is 27 runs lost of 2 wickets in 5.1 Overs.

I would not call a target of 247 runs a bad target. Because the bowling line-up of Bangladesh is now strong enough. But if Bangladesh would have been able to give a target of more than 280 then they would have been able to dominate the match. If Ireland's batsmen are able to bat responsibly and stay at the crease, they can win today's match.
At the end of 10 overs, Ireland's batsmen collected only 39 runs. But they lost two crucial wickets to Paul Stirling and Balbirnie. Tector and DOheny are now at the crease. If the Bangladesh bowlers pick Tector's wicket quickly, I guess Bangladesh will win for sure.

[Sithara007]

As of now, it looks as if Ireland is in trouble. They have lost two of their star batsmen - Paul Stirling and Andy Balbirnie, and they still need more than 200 runs to win. They do have the depth in batting lineup, with Andy McBrine and Mark Adair batting at no.8 and no.9 respectively, but the required run rate is climbing up with every passing over. Stephen Doheny and Harry Tector are batting now, and these two are struggling against the accurate Bangladeshi attack. If Ireland lose this match, then they need to play in the qualifier tournament for the 2023 ODI World Cup.

Ireland collected 64 runs for the loss of 3 wickets. Ireland now needs 184 runs in 34 overs. Ireland has some excellent batsmen in their squad. Tucker and Tector are now batting. These two batsmen are quite experienced. Campher and McBrine are good enough batsmen. So even if Ireland loses by 3 wickets, one should not think that Bangladesh will win this match easily. Bangladesh is likely to be defeated.
But Tamim Iqbal's captaincy seems a bit strange to me. He has yet to use experienced bowlers like Shakib and Miraz in 16 overs. However, maybe Tamim Iqbal has a different plan.

It seems Bangladesh & Afghanistan had also voted for the Asia cup to be shifted out of Pakistan and to be hosted in Srilanka. Now the only option left for Pakistan to boycott the tournament. Bad news for cricket fans who wanted to see these two teams play against each other.

It is also unclear now what will be PCB's stand on the ODIWC. I do not think they can boycott the ICC tournament but I am sure they will ask ICC to shift their matches from India.

Bad news for Pakistan! They needed those matches between Pakistan against India to boost their failing economy . Feeling sorry for Pakistan as the country that they felt was its most significant friend (Afghanistan) has now ditched them. It was supposed to happen with the stubborn attitude of BCCI and they as in Pakistan should now boycott the upcoming ODIWC to save their face or should accept Srilanka as host for the Asia Cup. Pakistan should now go all out and create its own tournament to counter the Asia Cup.

Ireland scored 65 runs in 16.3 overs with 3 wickets. The match has been stopped due to rain. Stephen Doheny was out for 17 runs off 39 balls. Paul Shirling is out for 15 runs off 10 balls. Andrew Balbirnie is out for 5 runs off 9 balls. Harry Techter is unbeaten on 21 runs off 37 balls. Lorcan Tucker was unbeaten with 2 runs from 4 balls. Bangladesh bowled very well, Taijul Islam got 1 wicket with 5 runs in 2 overs. Hasan Mahmud took one wicket with 21 runs in 5 overs. Shoriful Islam took 1 wicket with 21 runs in 5 overs.

In Bangladesh and Ireland series. Bangladesh team is looking more strong as compare to Ireland team. As in the first match we can see Bangladesh made 246 runs and this is an average target but Ireland is looking more weak. But we can't decide now. At this time rain is interfering so the match stopped.

I am sure that Ireland actually got lucky in this match. Because if the match was played till the end they would have lost. But at the same time, I will also say that the performance from Bangladesh was not good as well. Against a weaker opponent like Ireland, they should have scored at least 280. And that's regardless of the conditions. Of course, Bangladesh was not able to even reach 250. I think this type of performance is not going to cut it when they will be playing in the world cup.

I hope Bangladesh will be able to perform well in the world cup considering that they will play at least 9 matches in the world cup. So they will have a good chance of qualifying. The captaincy does look a little weird but I think he was saving the spin bowlers for the middle overs.

Today's first ODI match has been abandoned due to rain, but I will focus more on the fact that Bangladesh team's batting performance has been very poor today rather than calling Ireland team lucky in today's match. If we follow the scoreboard we can see that among the Bangladeshi opening batsmen Tamim Iqbal and Liton Das both got out very early and Liton Das hit the golden duck.

I was very worried that Bangladesh would not be able to get a good run in today's match due to the loss of big wickets, but anyway Mushfiqur Rahim among the seniors and batsman Nazmul Hossain Shanto among the young stars along with a few runs of others enabled Bangladesh to set a target.
However, I have the same thought as you that as a team, Bangladesh is much stronger than the Ireland team, so the performance of Bangladesh has not been very good. And I see today's performance as an indication that the Ireland team may be able to put up a strong performance going forward.

We don't know how the match could've turned, based on the Ireland team's performance in the recent test matches I find them unlucky. After early wicket fall, the players stood wicket and avoided the innings loss in the test match against Bangladesh. In that match Tector and Tucker were the players who showed the ability of the team, followed is the performance of McBrine. Even in the ODI similar performance could've happened as the score isn't that high to rise the pressure on the batsman.

Yes it must be believed because Bangladesh is much stronger than Ireland. Because we have seen from test matches and T20 matches that Bangladesh is much stronger than Ireland. Seeing Bangladesh's two wickets fall in the first over, I thought they wouldn't be able to score too many runs. But Bangladesh managed to score 246 runs by playing the ball till 50 overs. Meanwhile, Ireland were under a lot of pressure after losing 3 wickets early on. Had the match not been abandoned due to rain, Bangladesh would have won this match. Because in terms of performance, Ireland was under a lot of pressure.

Since the match between Ireland and Bangladesh was washed out yesterday, South Africa has qualified directly to the ODI World Cup of 2023. Ireland needed 30 points from 3 matches, but since the first match was washed out, they received only 5 points from that one. Anyway, I am glad that the most deserving team entered the world cup. It would have been difficult to imagine a ODI World Cup without South Africa. Ireland now needs to participate in the World Cup Qualifier tournament, in order to gain entry to the main tournament.

It's true that South Africa are deserving of a spot in the tournament, but it wasn't quite the ideal way for them to qualify. The first match between Bangladesh and Ireland was rained out, which stands South Africa qualified has secured a place in the 2023 ODI World Cup. Some might argue, but it's not often that the Proteas benefit from rain like this before. However, it would have been unlikely for Ireland to win all three games, and make the direct qualification.

Despite England's pitch not being favor for Bangladesh, the runs they scored that was much worthy. Ireland more likely to lose the match. Due to rain the match is declared by no result. I think rain gave away a good chance for Ireland. In that match, Ireland lost 3 wickets in just 16.3 overs, so if they batted a little longer, they could have lost more wickets. However, with only two matches left in the series, it remains to be seen what happens there. Either team needs to win both matches to win the series.

I would not call a target of 247 runs a low collection. This is a good enough collection on the pitch at Chelmsford. And Bangladesh's chances of winning were high. Ireland quickly lost three key batsmen in their top order. Ireland's collection was only 65 runs in 16.3 overs. The performance of the Bangladeshi bowlers was very good. Bangladesh would have been able to win the match had it not rained. The series is of three matches. I hope Bangladesh will win the next two matches. Bangladesh team will win the series against Ireland.

For South Africa, things got complicated after they cancelled the 3-match ODI series against Australia (because SA20 league was scheduled at the same time). Don't know how many points they would have got from these matches it they actually went ahead, but in the end they really had to work hard in order to get a direct qualification slot. And there was a real danger of African continent being unrepresented at the ODI World Cup of 2023. Anyway, it was bad news for Ireland. Now they need to make sure that they finish at top-2 in the qualifier tournament. It will be hard, because Sri Lanka and West Indies are the favorites.

Ireland suffered the most as the match was abandoned due to rain. Virtually every match in the series was a final for Ireland. Ireland had no choice but to upset Bangladesh to get a direct place in this year's World Cup held in India. However, Ireland's hopes were dashed after yesterday's match was abandoned. Ireland scored 65 runs for the loss of 3 wickets in 16.3 overs to meet Bangladesh's target of 247 runs at Chelmsford. Ireland did not field due to rain, after which the match was declared abandoned at 12 noon Bangladesh time. As a result, South Africa overcame Ireland and qualified directly for the World Cup. Now Ireland have to play the qualifiers to get to the World Cup and then go to the World Cup. So Ireland suffered the most by abandoning this match.

There was no point in calling up Josh Little from the IPL, where he was performing really well. After a lot of effort, he got a contract of $536,000 per year with Gujarat Titans (Irish contract is worth less than one-tenth of that amount) and the Irish Cricket board asked him to leave IPL mid-way in order to play against Bangladesh. Little may lose around 30% of his contracted amount (he will be missing 4 out of 14 matches) and in the end no one benefitted from this. Ireland could not qualify for the World Cup, and Little lost a large part of his IPL salary.

The first ODI match between Bangladesh vs Ireland was abandoned due to rain. In the second innings, Ireland got a chance to bat only 16.3 overs where they managed to score only 65 runs for the loss of three wickets. 

The rain law did not come in handy in this match as the DLS system comes into play only when twenty overs are played in the second innings. 

According to the weather forecast yesterday there was a 60 to 70% chance of rain in the stadium area but there was no cloud in the sky and suddenly it started raining. As the weather was forecast, Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal should have adopted some technique. 
Since Bangladesh had a good start if they had used spinners in most of the overs up to 20 overs then maybe Bangladesh would have won by dls method. But Tamim Iqbal failed to adopt that technique against the Irish. As a result of which one match of the three-match series was abandoned due to rain.

Due to the abandonment of this match, Sri Lanka qualified directly for the World Cup. The equation was that if Ireland could win all three of the three match ODI series then Ireland would have directly qualified for the World Cup and if Ireland had lost any match in the series then Sri Lanka would have directly qualified for the World Cup as the match was abandoned due to rain Bangladesh Ireland had one of the abandoned matches. 
Despite not getting the advantage, Sri Lanka rightly got the advantage of this abandoned match. That is, Sri Lanka directly qualified for the 2023 World Cup.
