Milestone
So, that's it from Game 1 of this 3-match series. Bangladesh with a convincing win going up 1-0 in the 3-match series. Both teams will be back in action on Monday at the same venue. Do join us for that match and keep a tab on all the other cricketing action across the globe in our network. For now, this is Ayan Chatterjee signing off on behalf of my co-commentators Deepak Prakash and Saipavan Janaki alongside scorer/analyst Zeeshan Naiyer. Stay safe, happy, and cool. Goodnight and CHEERS!   
Tamim Iqbal( Bangladesh Captain): The way we batted was exceptional. Wasn’t the easiest wicket to bat for the first 20-25 overs. But Shakib was brilliant, Towhid was also pretty impressive and Mushfiqur was brilliant as well at the end. The bowlers also bowled very well. The first 20-25 overs wasn’t that easy to bat on, it was on the slower side. (Rahim) He has been doing this for the last 17 years, there will be ups and downs, but I have always trusted his abilities as a keeper. The way Ebadot bowled was very special. Special mention to Nasum too, he bowls really well."
Towhid Hridoy (Player of the Match): "A little bit hurt. I am happy I contributed to the team's win. Yes, I felt good batting with Shakib bhai and Mushfiq bhai helped me as well. I was confident about my abilities and happy to win the game for my side."  
Andrew Balbirnie ( Ireland Captain): " Yeah, definitely we had disappointed with the batting and we did well in the first 10 overs but after that, we lost  4-5 wickets that's is the main reason. Yeah, I think bit of swing in the wicket, Bangla bowlers are bowled well and hopefully will come back in next game. Yeah, wanna beat a team like this and we come back strong on Monday." 


Time for the post-match presentation....!
8:32 PM IST: A comprehensive win by Bangladesh as they have thrashed Ireland by 183 runs to go 1-0 up in this 3-match series. They have outplayed Ireland in all facets of the game and look like the team to beat in this series. This could be a long tour for the Irish.   

Chasing a mammoth 339 for the win, Ireland got off to a decent start as they reached 60/0 in the 12th over. But they collapsed from there and never recovered. They fell to 76/5 and lost the plot completely. Stephen Doheny scored 34 and Paul Stirling scored 22. Then Curtis Campher got into double figures scoring 16. George Dockrell gave a good account of himself as he top scored with 45. Mark Adair scored 13 as the innings was over in 30.5 overs as Ireland folded for 155. 

All the Bangladesh bowlers bowled well and never allowed Ireland to get away. Ebadot Hossain was the standout with 4 wickets for 42 runs in 6.5 overs. Nasum Ahmed gave him good support with 3 wickets for 43 runs in 8 overs. A couple of wickets for Taskin Ahmed and a wicket to Shakib Al Hasan. Mustafizur Rahman remained wicketless and disappointed us a little bit. 

Earlier in the game, Bangladesh amassed a huge score despite losing skipper Tamim Iqbal early for 3. Litton Das scored 26 while Shanto scored 25. Both got starts and got out. But it was the Shakib Al Hasan show alongside Towhid Hridoy that took the game away from Ireland. Shakib scored 93 while Hridoy scored 92. Mushfiqur Rahim scored a quick fire 44 off 26 balls to give the impetus to this innings. Yasir Ali scored a quick 17 off 10 balls. Taskin Ahmed scored 11 off 7 balls. Nasum Ahmed was unbeaten on 11* off 7 balls as Bangladesh ended with 338/8 in 50 overs. 

Graham Hume was the pick of the bowlers for Ireland amidst the carnage as he picked up 4 wickets for 60 runs in 10 overs. Andy McBrine bowled well in his 10 overs giving away 47 runs and picking up a wicket. A wicket fell to Mark Adair and Curtis Campher. But they were taken to the cleaners much like the other Irish bowlers. It was a tough day for Ireland as they were beaten in all the facets of the game be it batting, bowling and fielding. 

This is Bangladesh's highest win in terms of runs as they win this game by 183 runs to take a 1-0 lead in this 3-match series. Stick around for the presentations.
