Battle of the Minnows-Bangladesh-Ireland Review
Suhrwadi Shuvo debuts
Today we see the encounter between two minnows of the tournament. Yes it is the match between Bangladesh and Ireland. Bangladesh failing to seal their last match against India will be hoping for a victory in this match. Ireland on the other hand hasn't yet played a single game in the tournament and they will be coming as underdog in this match.
Bangladesh failed to score 15 more runs as India won the game. The brilliant performance from the opener S.Nafees went into vain as Bangladesh felt short of their given target. Bangladeshi bowlers did well and their batsman also started of well but completely lost the momentum in between the match. As the Bangladesh never regained this lost momentum. This lost of momentum saw the game go in the favor of the Indians. Das the new manager of Bangladesh stated to the news that he is happy to see the improvement in the performance of his team but disappointed with performance from the Captain All Rounder Shakib Al Hasan. Das thinks that Shakib could have contributed to the run chase a bit more. Shakib who went out first ball had a poor match against the Indians both with the bat as well as the ball.
Bangladesh will be playing their same batting line up but a change has been seen in their bowling line up. We see that Mortaza has been dropped after a poor performance in the last match and his replacement is the youth spinner in Shuvo. The bowlers in the last match did well as well as some batsman like Nafees, Nazimuddin, Mahumdulla. This time they need the support from the other batsman especially from the Captain Shakib Al Hasan. The bowlers too need support from him as well.
Ireland will be opening their tournament book with this match. They will give their full strength in order to seal this one and seal their place in the Super 8. They will be lead from the front by their Captain, Bowling All Rounder Johnston. The openers for their team will be Botha and Porterfield. Their middle order consist of the two O'Brien brothers, White and Cusack. Their bowling department consist of McCallan, West, Rankin and Connell.
With both teams going full strength in order to get a win in their favor, who will be odd one out?
