Ireland have won the toss and opted to bat
|| Desk Report ||
Bangladesh is taking on Ireland today at Clontarf Cricket Ground, Dublin. Ireland Captain William Porterfield has won the toss and elected to bat first.
This is last group stage match of this tri-nation series. It’s more like a regulation match as Bangladesh has already insured a spot in the final and Ireland is out of the tournament because of their two convincing loss against West Indies.
Bangladesh will want to check the strength of their bench in this match. They may give rest to some of their main squad members. Ireland will also want to finish this tournament on a high. So, we all can expect an exciting game today at Clontarf.
Bangladesh will face West Indies on Friday in the tri-nation Series final.
