Bangladesh vs Ireland, 1st T20I: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Weather Forecast, Pitch Report, and Live Streaming Details

Bangladesh and Ireland are set to face each other in the first game of the three-match T20I series on Monday, March 27. The Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram will host the contest.

Bangladesh, captained by Shakib Al Hasan, recently defeated world champions England 3-0 in a three-match T20I series. It was only the second time they whitewashed a team in T20Is after their win over Ireland back in 2012.

The Tigers’ squad is more or less the same as the one that played against England. Leg-spinner Rishad Hossain has been added to the squad. Shakib Al Hasan, Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Mustafizur Rahman hold the key for the Tigers.

Litton Das has also been in excellent form in recent times. Towhid Hridoy has shown a lot of promise over the last few games. Rony Talukdar would want to convert his starts and get a big score under his belt.

Ireland will be captained by Paul Stirling, who has been the bedrock of the team for over a decade. George Dockrell also needs to bring forth all his experience. Harry Tector, Curtis Campher and Lorcan Tucker add a lot of solidity to their middle order.
