Thereby the two teams split the points that took Bangladesh to the top of the points table with six points, followed by West Indies who are now on five points from two games. Ireland now has two points.

The match officials waited till 7.15pm Bangladesh time before making the decision as the rain didn't show any intention to stop. For much of the morning and afternoon, the rain continued pouring, making it difficult to start the game.

The toss also didn't take place as the rain began soon after the teams arrived at the venue. Thursday’s game would have been the first meeting between Bangladesh and Ireland in two years.

Bangladesh crushed West Indies by eight wickets in their first match while Ireland tasted a 196-run defeat to the Caribbean side in the tri-series opener.
