BAN vs IRE Betting Tips
The first boundary of the match to be four runs
Test matches rarely begin with sixes, as batters generally focus on playing grounded shots in the early stages. This makes a boundary four the most probable outcome for the first boundary, as witnessed in the previous Test when it occurred in the second over.
First ball of the match to be a dot ball
The opening ball is highly likely to be a dot, with both teams prioritizing a watchful start and minimizing risks in the first hour. In the last Test between these sides, the entire first over was a maiden, featuring six consecutive dot balls. This bet stands out for consistency.

BAN vs IRE Team Previews
Bangladesh
Bangladesh enter as overwhelming favorites on home soil, thanks to their formidable spin attack and a deep, high-performing top order.
Mushfiqur Rahim remains the heartbeat of their batting, while Mahmudul Hasan Joy's stunning 171 in the previous match helped pile on an imposing 587 for eight declared. Captain Najmul Hossain Shanto also added a century, highlighting the Tigers' dominance.
The key advantage for Bangladesh is their spin trio. Taijul Islam and Mehidy Hasan Miraz are relentless on turn-friendly pitches, while debutant Hasan Murad impressed with four wickets in Ireland’s second innings.
Ireland’s struggles against spin suggest that Bangladesh’s bowlers are set for another stellar showing. With batting firepower and world-class spin, Bangladesh look primed to deliver another series win.
Bangladesh Expected Playing 11
Shadman Islam, Mahmudul Hasan Joy, Mominul Haque, Najmul Hossain Shanto (c), Mushfiqur Rahim, Litton Das (wk), Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taijul Islam, Hasan Mahmud, Nahid Rana, Hasan Murad

Ireland
Ireland face a formidable challenge following a heavy defeat, with captain Andy Balbirnie leading a side short on subcontinental experience. Their batting lineup showed flickers of promise—Paul Stirling and debutant Cade Carmichael making fifties—but lacked stability and collapsed against Bangladesh’s spinners in the second innings.
Matthew Humphreys’ five-wicket haul was a bright spot amid otherwise challenging circumstances. The Irish attack, however, lacks bite and discipline to unsettle Bangladesh’s batting order.
The likelihood of another high-scoring effort from the home team means Ireland’s bowlers may again struggle to control the match, and returns from their main batters will be crucial if they hope to remain competitive.
Ireland Expected Playing 11
Andy Balbirnie (c), Paul Stirling, Cade Carmichael, Harry Tector, Curtis Campher, Lorcan Tucker (wk), Andy McBrine, Jordan Neill, Barry McCarthy, Matthew Humphreys, Craig Young
BAN vs IRE Toss Prediction
Both captains will likely prefer to bat first, following the precedent set in the series opener.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
Expect a spin-friendly surface at Shere Bangla National Stadium, amplifying the hosts’ advantage. Fast bowlers may extract some early movement, but turning conditions will soon dominate, favoring Bangladesh’s spin trio. Batters who excel against spin can post significant runs. Previous Test matches at the venue have tended to follow this pattern.
With extremely high temperatures and moderate humidity, clear weather will persist throughout all five days.
BAN vs IRE: Who Will Win?
Bangladesh’s complete performance in the opening Test leaves little room for doubt. Their batting, which posted close to 600 runs, and potent spin attack make them clear favorites to secure another dominant victory.
Bet on Bangladesh to win.
