11:49 PM IST | Well that's all she wrote folks! A very proud victory for Bangladesh and Tamim Iqbal! They are ranked No.7 in the world now! The tigers are roaring!

This is Anirudh, jumping off the wagon along with my co-commentators Deepak and Saptak, along with our scorer/analyst Dushyant! See you on the next one! 
Bangladesh receive the trophy and the celebrations begin!
Tamim Iqbal | Bangladesh Captain: "Until the 40th over I had no idea Shanto was going to bowl but the way Miraz bowled, that gave me the confidence. It was the bigger side and it wasn't easy to hit and he did a fantastic jon. Him being another all-rounder for Bangladesh will be great. 

If I tell you that we had the belief we were going to win, I'm lying. But cricket is a funny game and scoreboard pressure is a bad thing to have. Thanks to Fizz who picked up the two wickets of Camphor and Tucker, because of which we were able to win. 

They are a quality side, I think it's just more about playing in different conditions to improve. They play well in these conditions but if they play a bit more in Asia, they will be a good team. If you have a good bowling attack, it's easy to captain. I am very excited to have the players we have, especially the bowling unit, we have a couple more on the injury table like Taskin who is a great talent too. 

I thought it's not only in Chelmsford, wherever we go we have outnumbered a lot of teams. England has always been a special place, we have always got a good support here."
Najmul Hossain Shanto(Player of the series):- "No, I just followed my process and practiced a lot with Rangana Herath. I told captain everyday that I should bowl. Today when I was handed the ball today and Miraz helped me a lot. Obviously my first century is something I prefer. I loved and Enjoyed the Bangladeshi crowd's support and I am having a belief that I can bowl."
Mustafizur Rahman (Player of the match): "I have been bowling under pressure for a considerable amount of time. Yesterday I was thinking to take five wickets in the match, but I am a bit disappointed to get only 4 wickets. I will do shopping (On what he will do with the money)"
Andrew Balbirnie | Ireland Captain: "It's very tough to take, we controlled large parts of the game, we slipped in the end, just very frustrated to lose it. We lost a couple of wicket and the momentum and crowd shifted to Bangladesh.

We have to get better going into the qualification tournament which is going to be cut-throat. Yeah, a lot of lessons in these defeats against a top team. We batted pretty well through out, just lost that couple of wickets at the end, something we could control and it's a shame to lose.

We have played a lot of matches in such conditions, we just have to stand up as a batting unit and there needs to be batter who gets to 90 or even a 100. We are back in a week and a half for a warm up before the Lord's test, and we will look to improve."

11:37 PM IST | Time for the post match presentation ceremony..
11:25 PM IST | AND BANGLADESH HAVE PULLED OFF A MAGICAL VICTORY! They defeat a valiant Ireland by 4 runs! With this victory they also secure a 2-0 ODI series victory over their counterparts after the first ODI was washed out!

Ireland won the toss and elected to bowl first, and the decision looked like a good one. The Irish pacers put the opening duo of the veteran Tamim Iqbal and the debutant Rony Talukdar under early pressure and it resulted in the debutant walking back early. But Tamim joined hands with first Shanto and then Litton Das to take Bangladesh to a strong position at 137/3 in 23.3 overs. The Southpaw returned to form with a well paced half-century, and looked set to score a century until a rash shot resulted in his downfall at 69 runs from 82 balls. 

Thanks to a 75 run lower middle order partnership between Mushfiqur Rahim and Mehidy Hasan, Bangladesh were able to cross the 250 run-mark. However, they will have been disappointed by the eventual total as a late innings collapse saw them lose 5 wickets for just 13 runs as they were bundled out for 274 in 48.5 overs. 

Come the chase, things looked on the up for Ireland as despite losing Dohney early, Stirling and Barbirnie stitched together a 109 run-stand with both batters scoring well made half centuries. This was then followed up by a 79-run stand for the 4th wicket between Tector and Tucker. With Ireland in cruise control at 225/3, things looked easy for them to chase this total down and level the series. 

However, Bangladesh had other plans as the bowlers snatched back the momentum as they put the choke on and picked up 6 wickets while giving away just 41 runs in the last 9 overs of the game! The Fizz silenced his critics with the brilliant figures of 4/44 from his 10 overs while the other bowlers complimented him excellently to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat! 

In the end, Bangladesh defeated the Irish by 4 runs to take home the trophy and the series 2-0! They will be elated with their performance away from home while Ireland will go back to the drawing board and look at improving their performance in the upcoming matches.

49.6 H Mahmud to C Young
1lb Yorker on the pads. Young fails to get anything on it and the ball clips the boots and rolls down to short fine leg for a single. Phew, what a game of cricket we have witnessed. Bangladesh pulled things back in the last 10 overs of the game and emerged as a victorious side. Bangladesh seals the series 2-0.

W WICKET!! Another nail in the coffin!! Fuller and slower delivery outside the off. McBrine throws his bat on it but gets the thick outside edge of the bat that flies to the short third-man region where Chowdhury dives forward and takes it easily.
