BAN vs IRE Betting Tips
Harry Tector to score over 18.5 runs
Harry Tector is the leading run-scorer for Ireland this year. He has an average of close to 75 in his last 5 innings and has scored at least 28 runs in each of them, including two half-centuries. He has also scored at least 19 runs in 3 of his 4 innings against Bangladesh, and we are backing him to play a good knock.
Bangladesh total runs before fall of 1st wicket Under 19.5
The opening pair of Tanzid Hasan and Parvez Hossain Emon hasn’t been consistent for Bangladesh. They have an average of 26 in 19 matches. They have failed to cross the 20-run mark in 3 of the last 6 innings, and we are expecting another poor start for them.

BAN vs IRE Team Previews
Bangladesh
Bangladesh was stunned in the first T20 by Ireland. The hosts went into this game as the favorites to win. But instead, they faced a comprehensive defeat. They will now he desperate to turn things around in this match.
This series is especially important for the hosts as it is their last chance to fine tune the squad ahead of the upcoming T20 World Cup. Bangladesh has a strong and experienced batting unit, but it was unable to deliver in the previous match.
The opening pair of Tanzid Hasan and Parvez Hossain Emon was dismissed cheaply, and that put pressure on the middle order. The team will expect a better performance from the likes of Towhid Hridoy, Litton Das, Jaker Ali, and Saif Hassan. Bangladesh might be tempted to bring in an all-rounder for this match.
Playing without two of its experienced bowlers, Taskin Ahmed and Shamim Hossain, Bangladesh’s bowling did seem to be lacking some bite. Nevertheless, they have plenty of firepower, including Mustafizur Rahman, Shoriful Islam, and Tanzim Hasan and the team will bank on them to deliver an early breakthrough.
Bangladesh Expected Playing 11
Tanzid Hasan, Parvez Hossain Emon, Litton Das (C & WK), Saif Hassan, Jaker Ali, Towhid Hridoy, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Rishad Hossain, Nasum Ahmed, Shoriful Islam, Mustafizur Rahman

Ireland
After suffering a whitewash in the Test series earlier on this tour, Ireland will be delighted with the way they performed in the first T20 and now have a real chance of clinching the series.
Ireland has an experienced batting line-up for this match. Paul Sterling, Harry Tector, Lorcan Tucker, and Curtis Campher have played T20 matches around the world and can adapt to the conditions here. Harry Tector played a brilliant innings of 69 runs and was pivotal in taking his team to a match-winning score. He was well-supported by his brother and top-order batsman Tim Tector.
The team also has a couple of solid all-rounders in George Dockrell and Gareth Delany, who add depth to the batting. Matthew Humphreys and Barry McCarthy were also a part of the Test series, and the experience they gained then proved handy on Thursday as they picked up 7 wickets between them.
McCarthy will be joined by the experienced pair of Mark Adair and Joshua Little in the pace department, while Humphreys will be joined by Gareth Delany.
Ireland Expected Playing 11
Lorcan Tucker (WK), Paul Sterling (C), Curtis Campher, Harry Tector, Tim Tector, George Dockrell, Gareth Delany, Mark Adair, Joshua Little, Barry McCarthy, Matthew Humphreys
BAN vs IRE Toss Prediction
3 of the 4 matches played here were won while batting first. We, therefore, feel that batting first will be a better option.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
The surface is expected to have some live grass, and the seamers can expect some movement with the new ball. However, the batsmen need to back themselves and try to score boundaries to put the pressure back on the bowlers, especially during the Powerplay.
A score of around 170 is a par score on this ground. The surface does slow down as the match progresses, and the spinners could play an important role. However, they will have to battle heavy dew that settles down during the second half.
The weather will remain pleasant with temperatures between 20 and 25 degrees.
BAN vs IRE: Who Will Win?
Bangladesh started this series as the firm favourites to win. However, Ireland stunned them by handing over a big defeat, and the series is now wide open. Nevertheless, we reckon that Bangladesh will bounce back here and win this match. Home conditions and a pretty good bowling attack point to a Bangladeshi comeback.
Bet on Bangladesh to win.
