BAN vs IRE 2nd T20 Dream11 Prediction & Fan2Play Possible 11 Pitch Report | BAN vs IRE 2nd T20 Dream11 Prediction Today | Chattogram Pitch Report

Bangladesh are batting with more intent than ever now; something that had always lacked in their batters. In the first T20I, Bangladesh defeated Ireland by 22 runs (DLS). Batting first, they were at 207/5 in 19.2 overs before rain interrupted. Litton Das provided a brisk start, while Rony Talukdar played a fantastic knock to help Bangladesh cross the 200-run mark.

When the rain stopped, Ireland required 104 in eight overs to win the game. They tried hard, but the target was too big to chase. Taskin Ahmed was brilliant with the ball, as he played a crucial role in restricting Ireland to 81/5.

Bangladesh will now look to seal the series in the 2nd T20I, while Ireland will try to stay alive in the series in what has been a very difficult tour to date.
