Bangladesh vs Ireland | 3rd ODI | Mirpur | 22/03/2008

[Matic]

3rd and final One-Day between Bangladesh and Ireland. Bangladesh already winning the series with their 2 wins in the previous 2 ODIs.

Bangladesh innings was dominated by the young opener Tamim Iqbal, smashing 129 off 137, along with fellow opener Nafees who scored 54. Mahmudullah made 43* off his bat taking the Bangladeshi total to 293/7 after 50 overs. Ireland innings would commence soon.

Very good to see from a Bangladeshi fan perspective that their team can dominate another team (Ireland is ranked behind Bangladesh). Should us Pakistani's be worried?

Well done Tamim Iqbal
Good to see BD is playing some very good cricket before Pakistan ODI series, new batting team rules are working so far

CI- Bangladesh finish on a massive score of 293, their second highest score in ODI's. It is going to be a tough game for Ireland chasing it. A 109 runs partnership between Tamim and Shahriar for the first wicket gave the momentum, Tamim played well for his maiden century (129).

Fantastic performance.

Huh? They got buried alive vs the Proteas in both Tests and ODI's.

BD can be tagged as strongest of all the minnows

I know but SA are one of the best teams in the world. BAN are currently some where between the minnows and WI.
