Series: Ireland tour of Bangladesh, 2023

Bangladesh vs Ireland, 1st T20I 27th march
Venue: Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, Chattogram

After a one-sided three-match ODI series finished 2-0 to Bangladesh, the Tigers begin a three-match IT20 series against Ireland in Chittagong on Monday. Bangladesh beat England 3-0 in a
home series in this format earlier this month, whereas Ireland lost 2-1 in Zimbabwe in January. Read on as we preview this series opener. This game gets underway at 14:00 local time.

The conditions in Bangladesh are quite unique with some pace in the wicket but a low bounce and the hosts are experts at playing in them. They were far too strong for Ireland in the ODIs and we expect more of the same.

Ireland do not have their first choice team available but do still have a strong squad. However, they are up against a very good and in-form Bangladesh side who are extremely consistent in home conditions.

Pitch Report
At Chattogram, the surface mostly helps the spinners. The spinners will be in the game the entire time even though the pitch is still dry and plays slowly. On this track, though,
the pacers will have to work very hard because they won’t get much help from the deck and must rely significantly on their variations. On this track, the first inning average is 159.

key players Ireland: Paul Stirling, Andy Balbirnie, Andy McBrine, Mark Adair

key players Bangladesh :Litton Das , Shakib Al Hasan ,Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman

Prediction: Bangladesh are favorites to win the game
