Ireland has won the toss and elected to field first in the second T20I of the three-match series against Bangladesh on Wednesday in Chattogram. However, the start of the match may be delayed due to overcast conditions at the ground. Bangladesh won the first T20I at the same venue under the DL Method as the match was shortened due to bad weather. A win in this match will secure the series for the Tigers. Bangladesh has made no changes to their playing XI, as confirmed by captain Shakib Al Hasan during the toss. Prior to the T20I series, the teams competed in a three-match ODI series, which Bangladesh won 2-0, with one match ending in no result due to rain in Sylhet.

BAN vs IRE 2nd T20I 2023: Match Preview Ireland could not fight well in the ODI series. And it is assumed that we will also see the same outcome in the T20 series.

The Irish were defeated by 22 runs in the first T20 of the series on Monday by the DLS method. After losing the toss and batting first, Bangladesh scored 207 runs for 5 wickets in 19.2 overs. Then the game was stopped due to rain. After more than two hours, Ireland got a changed target of 104 runs in 8 overs. But they lost 5 wickets and could not score more than 81 runs.

Taskin's career-best performance helped Bangladesh secure an impressive victory in a rain-affected match. Taskin Ahmed took 4 wickets with only 16 runs with the ball, which is his career’s best bowling in T20. His previous record was 4 wickets for 25 runs. Hasan Mahmud took the remaining wicket. However, Ireland got a good batting condition due to rain, but they failed. Hopefully, they will try to come back to the series in the second match. Bangladesh, on the other hand, should be in a cheerful mood as they are one victory away from winning the series. Pitch Report and Weather The pitch in Chittagong for the first game of the series was an outstanding one, and it is expected to stay the same for the second match on Wednesday.

Probable Ireland Squad Paul Stirling (c), Ross Adair, Lorcan Tucker (wk), Harry Tector, Curtis Campher, George Dockrell, Gareth Delany, Mark Adair, Craig Young, Graham Hume, Benjamin White. Changes in the Team There are no changes for the Bangladesh team, and it is expected that the tigers will start the match with the same squad. However, the day before the start of the T20 series, there has been a change in the Irish camp. Regular captain Andrew Balbirnie has been rested. Paul Stirling will lead the three-match T20 series against Bangladesh starting. Lorcan Tucker will serve as a vice caption. Leadership is nothing new for Sterling. After becoming vice-captain in 2019, he has captained six T20Is for Ireland so far. Read More: Bangladesh’s ODI Series Win Against Ireland: Records, best performances, milestones achieved Key Players to Watch in BAN vs IRE 2nd T20I Bangladeshi Players to Watch Rony Talukdar will be on the watch list due to his incredible innings. He got his first fifty in his international career in the first T20 match of the series against Ireland at Zahoor Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chittagong on Monday. Rony returned to the dressing room with explosive innings of 67 runs off 38 balls. His aggressive batting style helped Bangladesh score 81 runs without a wicket in 6 overs, which is the Bangladesh team's powerplay record. In the bowling section, Taskin Ahmed has been very consistent, and his pace action certainly helped Bangladesh to stop Ireland. Coming in the fourth over of the innings, this pacer took 3 wickets and put Bangladesh in a strong position in the match. Taskin bowled two batters, including skipper Starling and one got caught out. So, the Irish will surely play Taskin’s ball carefully in the next game. Irish Players to Watch The Irish got off to a great start in the first match, and Paul Stirling started it. Stirling face the first ball of the innings and hit Nasum Ahmed down the ground a four. Again, he swept two more fours in this over. He scored 17 runs from 8 balls. This aggressive batter can be a headache for Bangladesh. Read More: Analysis of Bangladesh T20 Squad Against Ireland Craig Young was the only blower to take 2 wickets in the first match. So, he might put more effort into the second match. Overall, he has 57 T20 wickets in 54 matches. Final Words The Irish are far behind Bangladesh in terms of strength. That gap is expected to increase further at Chittagong in the second BAN vs IRE T20I. However, this Bangladesh had no plan of ​​winning by making a spin stage in Mirpur, as the series is being played at Chittagong's batting support wicket. And we have seen 200+ scores in the last match. So, if Bangladesh bats first in the next match, we may see another big score.

Bangladesh are going to play three three-match T20I series against Ireland in Chittagong starting on March 27. The other two matches will be on March 29 and 31. Bangladesh and Ireland already reached Chittagong on Friday afternoon. Bangladesh will be looking to continue their dominant run in the format, while Ireland will be eager to come back from their recent ODI loss. The 2023 BAN vs IRE 1st T20I game will start at 2 PM. Preview of Bangladesh vs Ireland First T20I 2023 Hosts Bangladesh played brilliantly in the ODI series against Ireland in Sylhet. The Irish could not give their best in the 3-match ODI series. The visitors, however, survived a sure whitewash as the second ODI was abandoned with the blessings of rain. In the remaining two matches, Bangladesh won with a record. And through this, the differences in strength and ability between the two teams have become clear. Now, it is expected that Bangladesh will beat them in T20 too. In the ICC T20 world ranking, Bangladesh is 9th, and Ireland is 12th. However, there have been very few encounters between the two teams in the T20 format. The last T20 fight between each other was in 2012. In other words, in the last 11 years, the two teams have not met in the T20 format. Read More: Hathurusingha's mantra for success hinges on players feeling 'psychologically safe' However, in the 2016 T20 World Cup, Bangladesh-Ireland met in the preliminary round at Dharamsala. But in that match, after Bangladesh scored 94 runs for 2 wickets in 8 overs, the match was abandoned due to rain. This statistic is for the global event or a tournament. And in the bilateral series, the last meeting between the two teams was in 2012. Bangladesh toured Ireland that year and returned home after whitewashing them 3-0. In total, only 1 of the 5 T20 matches between the two teams has been abandoned, and Bangladesh has won 3 and lost 1. In the 2009 T20 World Cup, the Irish defeated Bangladesh by 6 wickets in Nottingham. After that, Bangladesh won 3 consecutive matches. Considering the statistics, the Tigers are clearly ahead. The Ireland team played the 2014 T20 World Cup in Bangladesh. However, they played the preliminary round at Sylhet and departed. Therefore, Bangladesh-Ireland has not met on the country ground so far. After 11 years, they are going to meet again in a bilateral series. Bangladesh is certainly the favorite in this series, as they have beaten the Irish in Sylhet in the ODI series. Read More: National duty takes precedence: Shakib and Liton uncertain for IPL Ireland will enter the T20 series with the same squad. The Irish have not played an international match in any format before in Chittagong. So, they will have a completely new experience this time. Earlier this month, the Tigers defeated the world champions England in the previous series at this venue. They lost to Bangladesh at this ground in the third and last ODI of the series after leading by 2-0. Later they lost in the first T20 match in Chittagong as well. So, it will be a tough challenge for the Irish to do well against Bangladesh in Chittagong. However, Ireland is a very strong team in the T20 format. In the last World Cup, they defeated England by 5 runs. Won against West Indies as well. So, Bangladesh will need to play cautiously. BAN vs IRE 1st T20I Probable Squad Bangladesh Playing XI (Predicted) Litton Das (wk), Rony Talukdar, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Shakib Al Hasan, Towhid Hridoy, Shamim Hossain, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Shoriful Islam, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Hasan Mahmud.

Changes in the Teams Leg spinner Rishad and wicketkeeper Batter Zaker are going to get a chance in this series. Apart from this, everyone will have a special eye on Towhid Hridoy, who made his debut against England, and Rony Talukdar, who returned after a long time. In this series, they have a chance to make their place in the team by doing something great. On the other hand, 24-year-old pace all-rounder Fionn Hand has been included in the T20 squad. Conor Olphert has been omitted from the short version announced team. He was injured. Read More: Analysis of Bangladesh T20 Squad Against Ireland Key Players to Watch Bangladeshi Players to Watch Najmul Hossain Shanto, the left-handed top-order batter, has been having the form of his life. Earlier this month, he hit scores of 51, 46 not out, and 47 not out against England in T20s.Shakib Al Hasan, the team's captain, is one of the most feared left-arm spinners in T20 cricket and is noted for his economic run. He is also a dependable batsman across all formats, having hit 93 against Ireland in the opening ODI. Taskin Ahmed, the right-arm pace bowler, has been in outstanding form against Ireland and England. He claimed five wickets from two innings against Ireland in the ODIs. Irish Players to Watch Paul Stirling, the opener, boasts an impressive track record in the T20 format and has participated in the majority of the top leagues. His aggressive batting style makes him a powerful asset.Lorcan Tucker, a 26-year-old wicket-keeper-batsman, has scored five IT20 half-centuries in the past 16 months, with his highest score reaching 84.

Read More: Shakib launches cancer foundation to support underprivileged patients Final Words While Bangladesh is determined to win the T20 series, too, Ireland will surely try to come back. However, T20s are more unpredictable than the one-day match. So, guessing the winner is difficult for T20 matches. On top of that, Ireland is better at playing T20 than the ODIs. Hence, we can expect a great fight in BAN vs IRE 1st T20I 2023.

Bangladesh finished a great series against Ireland. The tigers touched new heights in the first two matches as the team scored the highest total. Bangladesh wanted to demonstrate their power and expertise through its performance in the field by playing an aggressive style of cricket. And the plan worked well as the tigers won the three-match series by 2-0 against the young Ireland team. 2023 BAN vs IRE ODI Series Analysis In the Bangladesh vs Ireland series, Bangladesh won the three-match ODI series by 2-0. The first match was won by Bangladesh with a huge margin of 183 runs. The second match was washed away by rain, and Bangladesh got a 10 wicket victory in the last match. Considering the performance in three matches, Litton Das and Najmul Hossain Shanto have been very consistent. And as a new batter, Towhid Hridoy’s performance was also eye-catching. In addition to that, Shakib’s 93 for 89 in the first match was also remarkable. For the bowling part, Hasan Mahmud and Ebadot Hossian’s performance played a crucial role in winning the first and third matches. Overall, all the Bangladeshi players gave their best on the field. From Ireland, George Dockrell played a brilliant inning of 45 runs off 47 balls, including six fours in the first match. But the rest of the Irish batting lineup failed to perform in both games they batted. If we look at Ireland’s bowling in all three matches, Graham Hume was the only bowler that stopped Bangladeshi batters. Although Hume’s economy rate was quite high, he took 7 wickets in total. Read More: Shakib launches cancer foundation to support underprivileged patients Records and Achievement for Bangladesh We have seen aggressive cricket from both Bangladeshi batters and blowers. And In the eyes of captain Tamim, Bangladesh just completed the perfect series. Let's take a look at the accomplishments of this remarkable series. Biggest Win by Runs Bangladesh achieved a record-breaking victory in their first match, winning by an incredible 183 runs - the largest margin of victory in the nation's ODI history. After winning the toss, Ireland sent Bangladesh to batting, and the Tigers scored 338 runs. In response, the Bangladeshi bowlers stopped them to 155 runs. Shakib’s 7000 Runs Milestone After Tamim Iqbal, Shakib became the second Bangladeshi cricketer to cross 7,000 runs milestone in ODIs. Shakib achieved a remarkable feat with his 93-run score. He entered the field with 24 runs away from 7000 runs, and Shakib achieved the landmark easily. Mushfiqur Rahim’s 7000 Runs Mushfiqur Rahim scored a century in the second ODI, and he also crossed 7000 runs in ODI cricket. Mushfiqur has become the third batsman from Bangladesh to achieve 7000 runs landmark after Tamim and Shakib. He needed 55 runs to reach the milestone but achieved it with the century, and now Mushfiques total ODI runs are 7045. Read More: Analysis of Bangladesh T20 Squad Against Ireland Mushfiqur Rahim set another record in this match. He took five catches as the wicketkeeper in the first match. He has taken the most catches as a wicketkeeper in ODIs for Bangladesh. However, Khaled Masud Pilot had five dismissals with three catches and two stumpings against Kenya in 2006. Mushfiq’s Fastest Century In 2009, during a match in Bulawayo, Shakib achieved an impressive accomplishment by scoring a century in only 63 balls against Zimbabwe. Mushfiqur topped Shakib's 14-year record as he hit a century off just 60 balls in the second ODI. He achieved his ninth century in the last ball of the innings, scoring 14 fours and 2 sixes for a total of 100 runs.

After winning the ODI series against Ireland, Bangladesh is now hoping to repeat its performance against Ireland. Bangladesh will play three-match T20 series against Ireland on March 27, 29, and 31. All these matches will be played at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium. Previously Bangladesh whitewashed the World Champion England in a T20 series ten days ago. And the team has enough confidence to whitewash Ireland too. Let's take a look at the Bangladesh T20 Squad against Ireland in the upcoming 2023 BAN vs IRE T20 Series. Bangladesh T20 Squad Against Ireland Shakib Al Hasan (capt), Litton Das (wk), Rony Talukdar, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Towhid Hridoy, Shamim Hossain, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Nasum Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Hasan Mahmud, Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam, Rishad Hossain, Jaker Ali. Changes in Bangladesh Team for BAN vs IRE T20 Series 2023 The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has announced a team of fourteen members to compete in the upcoming three-match T20I series against Ireland, starting on March 27th. Two new players, Rishad Hossain, and Jaker Ali Anik, have been included in the Bangladesh squad for the upcoming T20I series against Ireland. Leg spinner Rishad has been a part of the senior setup for a few years now but has yet to be given a proper chance - even in the domestic tournaments. The last time he played in a domestic tournament was two years ago in the Dhaka Premier League T20s. Read More: Bangladesh vs Ireland: Tigers earn first 10-wicket ODI win to seal series  Unfortunately, Rishad has only bowled 5.1 overs in the current first-class competition. This makes his inclusion in the team the most interesting call. Chandika Hathurusingha, the head coach, likely wanted to observe his performance at the international level. The such experiment is not new for Hathurusingha. During his first period as the coach for the Bangladesh team in 2014, he chose leg spinner Jubair Hossain too. On the other hand, Jaker has been a standout performer in the Bangladesh Cricket League, notching up three consecutive centuries and finishing as the tournament's highest run-scorer with 492 runs in six innings. He was also a key contributor to Comilla Victorians' BPL championship victory this season. However, the regular T20 players Afif Hossain and Nurul Hasan were left out of the squad. Afif, along with Shoriful Islam, was also excluded from the ODI squad for the last game. The exclusion of Afif is a major disappointment for the young, energetic batter. His 61 consecutive appearances in T20I had come to a halt when he was excluded from the third T20I match against England. Until recently, Afif was guaranteed to be chosen for both the white-ball formats, but he currently finds himself on the sidelines. But Shoriful was released from the ODI roster to participate in the Dhaka Premier League but is included in the T20 team against Ireland. Additionally, Tanvir Islam and Rezaur Rahman, who were in the squad that played against England, were not included against Ireland. Read More: Hasan Records Maiden Five-wicket Haul as Ireland Tumble for 101  Bangladesh Squad Analysis Apart from the changes mentioned above, the squad remains similar to the squad that whitewashed Bangladesh. So, it can be assumed that Najmul Hossain Shanto, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, and Shakib Al Hasan will be Bangladesh’s trump card as they have shown their class against England. Najmul Hossain Shanto Najmul Hossain Shanto's stellar performance in Bangladesh vs England T20 series was remarkable, amassing a total of 144 runs and an impact of 153.2 over three matches. He displayed his remarkable proficiency at the highest level of cricket, with an average impact per match of 51, ultimately leading to Bangladesh's victory. His BPL experience was evident, as he put in an exceptional effort across all three matches, making an invaluable contribution to the team's success. In addition to that, he scored 98 runs in the ongoing ODI series against the Irish. Mehidy Hasan Miraz Miraz is also in good form. Mehidy Hasan Miraz put on an impressive show during Bangladesh's T20 series against England, offering a well-rounded performance in both batting and bowling. Across two matches, his total impact was a formidable 104.4, averaging out to an impressive 52.2 per match. Read More: Bangladesh vs Ireland: Tigers call up two uncapped players to T20 squad His most noteworthy performance came in the second T20, where he took four crucial wickets for just 12 runs, helping his team to secure a victory. Demonstrating his versatility, Miraz made a valuable contribution through both bowling and batting, earning him praise for his efforts. Shakib Al Hasan And finally, the captain Shakib Al Hasan is the man behind the whitewash against England. His game plan and tactics are noteworthy for Bangladesh. Often, analysts speak of Shakib Al Hasan's acuity in cricket, and he displayed both good judgment and composure in Bangladesh vs England series. He demonstrated amazing skill when it came to managing his bowlers. So, it is expected that we will see his brilliant captaincy against the Irish too. Under Hathurusingha, it seems the Bangladesh team has got a boost. And the coach’s strategy appears to outrank the team’s weakness. Final Words Bangladesh has taken one year plan to develop the T20 team targeting the World Cup in 2024. That’s why the management and the coach want to look at new cricketers to move forward with the plan. Apart from that, the dropped cricketers will also be under their watch. So, this Bangladesh’s T20 squad against Ireland will bring some new experience for the management. Read More: Mushfiq’s Record-Breaking Fastest ODI Century

Bangladesh triumphed over Ireland in the first ODI, proving themselves superior in all areas. The record-breaking score was achieved via aggressive batting. And the bowlers, especially the pacers, were a phenomenon. This follows their prior success in T20, where the pacers played an effective role in whitewashing England in T20. Now, Bangladesh is looking forward to keeping its playing style and winning the series today (March 20, 2023). Bangladesh vs Ireland 2nd ODI Preview The second match of the three-match series is scheduled to start at 2 pm on Monday, March 20, at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium. However, there is a high chance of rain during that time. Also, there is a possibility of rain in Sylhet throughout the day. According to the forecast, the rainfall will be higher on Monday than on Sunday (March 19). A thunderstorm could be on the horizon, and the rain is set to become heavier after 6 pm, so the officials may find it difficult to finish the match on time. For Bangladesh, however, there is not much tension about the match being washed away. Tigers take a 1-0 lead in the series after winning the first ODI. If this match is washed away, the risk of losing the series will be eliminated. BAN was dominant in the first game of the series against IRE, and now they look to secure the trophy by securing a win in the second match. The team, led by Tamim Iqbal, put up a spectacular display, with Shakib Al Hasan's 93 runs off 89 deliveries and Towhid Hridoy's 92 runs off 85 deliveries leading the way. Mushfiqur Rahim also contributed to the success of the Bangla Tigers, as they posted 338 runs on board at the end of their 50 overs. So, if the second match takes place, Bangladesh will surely try to repeat the first’s match aggressive performance. Read More: Shakib completes BBA from AIUB On the other hand, the Ireland team has much to improve. Neither their batting nor their bowling was successful in their last encounter, resulting in a 183-run loss. This Ireland squad comprise some young players with a lack of experience playing so many ODIs. However, with the ODI World Cup coming up, this is a major chance for them to become familiar with the environment and do well in subsequent matches. So, they will certainly try to improve their playing style in the upcoming matches. However, Ireland will have to overcome a few factors. Bowlers like Shakib Al Hasan, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, and Nasum Ahmed are a big challenge for any team touring Bangladesh. However, it was the Bangladesh pacers who did the main damage to Ireland with a good batting wicket at the Sylhet International Stadium. As Ireland did not expect such a condition, in addition to the spinners, now Ireland also needs to think about the Bangladesh pacers. Although Bangladesh is almost at full strength, Ireland is not getting their best all-rounder Joshua Little on this tour due to IPL. It has been seen over the years how much of a difference he can make, whether it's playing for Ireland or whether it's in franchise cricket. So, Little’s presence could have increased Ireland’s strength. Read More: Bangladesh crush Ireland by 183 Runs in 1st ODI BAN vs IRE 2nd ODI Pitch Report Sylhet is renowned as a great place for batters to play. In the most recent match, Bangladesh put up an impressive total, which indicates that another high-scoring game can be expected. A score of 300 runs or more is considered a good one here, so whoever wins the toss should go bowling first. Players to Watch in BAN vs IRE 2nd ODI Shakib Al Hasan Shakib is a highly experienced all-rounder, and he is currently performing at an impressive level. In his last four matches in the 50-overs format, he has scored 234 runs, posing him a threat to the Irish team in their upcoming game. Ebadot Hossain Ebadot Hossain, the speedster, took four wickets in the previous match, totally destroying the Irish batting lineup. He can do the same in the second game too. Read More: Towhid shines on debut as Bangladesh post record total against Ireland Graham Hume Graham Hume became the first bowler of Ireland to take four wickets in ODI against Bangladesh. Apparently, Hume understood the Sylhet pitch better than any other Iris bowler. So, Bangladeshi batters will have to care about his bowling. George Dockrell George Dockrell was largely responsible for the Irish being able to extend their innings to 155 runs. The Irish innings came to a halt when Dockrell was bowled in the 30.5 overs of the innings by Ebadot. But, before that, Dockrell scored 45 of 47 balls. So, he might push more in the second match. BAN vs IRE 2nd ODI Probable Playing XIs Bangladesh (BAN) Tamim Iqbal (c), Litton Das, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Shakib Al Hasan, Towhid Hridoy, Yasir Ali, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Ebadot Hossain, Nasum Ahmed. Ireland (IRE) Paul Stirling, Stephen Doheny, Andrew Balbirnie (c), Harry Tector, George Dockrell, Curtis Campher, Lorcan Tucker (wk), Gareth Delany, Andy McBrine, Mark Adair, Graham Hume. Read More: Shakib Al Hasan reaches 7000-run milestone in ODIs Final Words In the first match, the performance of the Bangladesh team was great. The Tigers' game began with a few wickets lost, but Shakib and Hridoy put on an impressive batting display, with Mushfiqur Rahim and Yasir Ali following the pattern with a particularly aggressive approach. The veteran players displayed a strong mentality in their batting. On the other hand, Ireland should have noted their mistakes and come back with great energy. So, it is expected that the BAN vs IRE 2nd ODI will certainly be a competitive game.

The Bangladesh national cricket team will play another full series starting on March 18 with the first ODI. Bangladesh is going to play three ODIs against Ireland after blowing away England in T20. However, this will be Ireland’s first full series. All three ODIs will be played at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium, and the first ODI will start at 2 PM on March 18, 2023. Preview of Bangladesh vs Ireland 1st ODI 2023  Ireland already played a practice match against the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) XI, and they understood the pitch condition in Sylhet. Ireland got a notable victory, with a moderate total, in their preparation match. In the Sylhet pre-match, the Irish defeated the BCB XI by 74 runs. After the morning rain, the ground at Sylhet International Stadium was soaked, causing the game to start late. Consequently, the match was shortened to 40 overs. The visiting team managed to score 255 runs after losing 7 wickets in their allotted overs. Curtis Campher's remarkable 75 runs off 50 balls was the top performance. Opener Paul Stirling scored 54 runs. While Ireland scored 53 runs in the opening pair, they lost one wicket by 100 runs. Gareth Delany put in a noteworthy performance, scoring 36 runs off 24 balls and bringing the total to 250. Rejaur Rahman Raja and Rishad Hossain each took two wickets, while Soumya Sarkar managed to take a wicket. Read More: Tamim, Mehidy uncertain for 1st ODI against Ireland  Among all batters, Soumya, the left-handed opener, put up a courageous effort with the bat, resulting in 37 runs. Despite this, the BCB XI was unable to withstand the pressure of the full 32.1 overs, as they were bowled out for 181 runs. This win will surely boost confidence in Ireland. On the other hand, despite losing the ODI series to England, Bangladesh has still had a great record at home. Other than England, they have not been defeated in a series over the last seven years. The first ODI against England was very close to being a win for Bangladesh, and to keep from being whitewashed, Tamim’s team got a victory in the last match. Although Bangladesh lost the 50-over cricket series, they were outstanding in T20. Shakib Al Hasan’s team completely defeated England by demonstrating their strength with both bat and ball. After this performance, Bangladesh will now play against Ireland. And Ireland seems to take up the challenge and attempt to win a few matches against Bangladesh. Additionally, Bangladesh’s main weapon, the spinners, is in top form. Bangladesh's Shakib Al Hasan, Nasum Ahmed, and Mehidy Hasan Miraz's spin bowling at home is a terror for any opponent. Bangladeshi spinners have previously shown their class to top-ranked batters. Against Ireland, it should be no exception.

Team News Reports from Cricbuzz indicate that wicketkeeper-batsman Zakir Hasan suffered an injury to his left thumb while practicing at the Sylhet International Stadium on Thursday afternoon. As a result, he was dropped from the ODI series against the Irish. Zakir was called up for the first ODI. However, it is speculated that it will take a minimum of three weeks for him to make a full recovery. Apart from Zakir, all other Bangladeshi players are fit and can play the first ODI. Rony Talukdar will play in Zakir’s place. BCB confirmed Zakir's injury and Rony's inclusion in a press release on Thursday.

Bangladesh won the T20 series against England by winning the first two T20Is of three matches. This is Bangladesh’s first series win against the world champions in T20. After winning the first of the three-match series in Chittagong, Shakib's team won the second match in Mirpur by 4 wickets. The team confirmed the historic T20 series victory with one match in hand. Bangladesh beats England in BAN vs ENG T20 Series 2023  Shakib won the toss in Mirpur and chose to bowl, just as he did in Chittagong. To replace the batsman Shamim Hossain, the starting XI was boosted with the inclusion of spin all-rounder Mehdy Hasan Miraz. His contribution proved significant, as he managed to bowl the English side out for 117 on the last ball of his bowling. Jos Buttler's England was unable to withstand Miraz's combination of batting and bowling. England, however, got off to a good start. The second wicket was lost by exactly 50 runs. Then Miraz started pushing. One by one, he took Moeen Ali (15), Sam Curran (12) and Chris Woakes (0), and Chris Jordan’s (3) wickets. Earlier, opener Phil Salt scored 25 runs and returned to Shakib's ball. Jos Buttler (4) was bowled by Hasan Mahmood.

Hridoy, who made his debut in Chittagong against England, scored 17 runs today. Mehdy Hasan Miraz came down at five and made the match easy. He was caught for 20 runs with two sixes. After the return of Miraz, the match became difficult for Bangladesh. Shakib comes to the crease and returns with zero runs. Afif Hossain, the famous slugger, got out soon after. He added 2 runs. However, Shanto played an unbeaten inning of 46 runs to win the Bangladesh team. However, also share the winning credit. He managed to win the series for the nation by striking two consecutive fours with seven balls still in play. 5 Top Factors Behind Bangladesh's Series Win Against England Bangladesh's remarkable T20 series win against England was much expected after the first win in Chittagong. And players also gave their best yesterday. Here are the five factors that boosted the team’s win. The Fast Bowlers Were Great At 24 years of age, Hasan Mahmood's Yorker to Jos Buttler should be incredibly hard for any batter to stay on the field. The Bangladesh Bowler was the star of the first match, showing he could handle himself in front of a hard hitter such as Buttler. Hasan has now taken the wicket of Jos in two consecutive matches. He only gave away four runs in his first over.

Taskin ended up with one wicket in four overs, giving away an average of six and a half runs per over. Another pacer Mustafizur Rahman earned himself one wicket but at the cost of 19 runs. Shakib’s Captaincy Analysts often talk about Shakib Al Hasan's razor-sharp cricket brain, but in these two matches, he made good decisions as well as stayed cool. His bowler rotation was unbelievable. In contrast to the previous game, Bangladesh opened with Taskin Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman in the powerplay, who bowled the initial five overs.

After winning the first T20 against England, the Bangladesh team is in a cheerful mood, and the Tigers want to confirm the series in the second match. Returning from Chittagong to Dhaka, the two teams will meet in Mirpur next Sunday, March 12, at 3 pm. Shakib Al Hasan's team won their first victory against the English on Thursday in the 20-over format. Bangladesh's cricket team, under the guidance of Chandika Hathurusingha, has excelled in batting, bowling, and fielding in the last T20, and they hope to keep up their success. Bangladesh vs England 2nd T20I Match: Preview Since the T20 inception, Bangladesh has already played 145 matches in the T20 format. The Tigers have faced England only two times. In the first encounter, Shakib's team lost the match by 8 wickets in the 2021 T20 World Cup. However, Bangladesh started this tour with a 2-1 loss in the three-match ODI series. But Bangladesh got a good start in the T20 series with a win in the first match in Chittagong. Now the team will play their second match in Dhaka on Sunday. However, many members of the English champion team are not in this series. As the series is against a relatively less strong team like Bangladesh, they are giving some new cricketers a chance. This is the first time England's T20I team playing a series after becoming the world champions. And they already lost the first match, so they will surely try to get back in the series with a win in the second match. Read More: Bangladesh stun England in T20I series opener  Considering England as a strong team, Bangladesh has made some significant changes in the T20 team. Apparently, coach Chandika Hathurusingha begins his T20 world journey with this series. So, the Bangladesh team will make some shuffle or add moves based on this series and upcoming series. This T20 squad has been built mainly on the basis of BPL performance. Three Batters – Rony Talukdar, Towhid Hridoy, Shamim Hossain; Pacer Rejaur Rahman Raja and left-arm spinner Tanvir Ahmed played well in the BPL and made it to the national team. On the other hand, England's T20I team features Ben Duckett and Chris Jordan to boost their firepower, yet Ben Stokes, Harry Brook, Alex Hales, and Liam Livingstone are absent, causing Bangladesh coach Chandika Hathurusingha to refer to it as an "experimental" squad. The English team will expect a good performance from Phil Salt, Jos Buttler, and Ben Duckett, as they had a good performance in the first match. However, Dawid Malan may also come to the limelight in the second T20 as he is familiar with the Mirpur field.

This is an extraordinary comeback for Rony, where a player's career is usually over after being dropped from the team. Talukdar's success at the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) this year, with 425 runs in 13 innings and a strike rate of 129.17, has opened the eye of the BCB selectors. And Rony did not let the team down. He scored 21 runs in 14 balls, which is a good performance in T20. After Rony, Najmul Hossain Shanto will get focus as he played an excellent inning with 51 runs in 30 balls. The left-handed batsman is the hero of Bangladesh's victory in the first T20 against England. So, fans have increased their expectations from Shanto. Key Players for England The English team was expecting a good performance from Phil Salt in the T20I series, yet he had only made 54 runs in the three ODIs, and 37 runs in two ODIs against Australia in November. But Salt gave his best in the last T20 with 38 runs from 35 balls. So, hopefully, he will repeat this or do better than this in the next match. His last notable performance was a remarkable 88 ran off 41 balls in a T20I in Lahore against Pakistan in September last year. It's now time for him to get some runs again. Read More: Bangladesh stun England in T20I series opener Jos Buttler scored an incredible 67 runs from 42 balls. So, he might run this performance in the second match. On top of that, Buttler is familiar with the Mirpur pitch. Buttler made his partnership with Ben Duckett on the third wicket. In the 13th over, he achieved his 20th half-century by smashing Hasan Mahmud's delivery for a six on the fifth ball. Probable Squad Bangladesh XI Rony Talukdar, Litton Das(w), Najmul Hossain Shanto, Shakib Al Hasan(c), Shamim Hossain, Afif Hossain, Towhid Hridoy, Taskin Ahmed, Nasum Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Hasan Mahmud. England XI Jos Buttler(w/c), Philip Salt, Dawid Malan, Ben Duckett, Moeen Ali, Sam Curran, Chris Woakes, Chris Jordan, Adil Rashid, Jofra Archer, Mark Wood.

England lost the last four wickets for 11 runs in 20 balls, and Bangladesh won the match there. And when it comes to batting performance, Shanto is the ultimate hero.

Bangladesh achieved triumph from his bat with a great innings of 51 runs off 30 balls, including eight fours. In addition to that, he took three great catches in the field.

Read More: Shakib reaches 300 ODI wickets Final Words The T20 World Cup is not far away. And after 13 months, the West Indies and the United States will host the highest tournament of short-version cricket. So, team Bangladesh started their preparation with this series against England. And Bangladesh already won the first match. So, we will surely try to win the BAN vs ENG 2nd T20 Match.

In 2016, England triumphed over Bangladesh in a three-match ODI series held in Dhaka and Chittagong. Despite losing a match in Dhaka, Bangladesh put up a valiant effort in Chittagong in 2016, but ultimately, England won the series with a 4-wicket victory in the last match. On the other hand, Bangladesh already lost the 2023 series before their third match in Chittagong on March 6. Bangladesh will aim to avoid a whitewash in Tamim Iqbal’s hometown tomorrow. However, England will want to give that opportunity to Bangladesh at any cost, as we have seen their performance in the last match. The third and final ODI of the BAN vs ENG series 2023 will start at 12 noon on Monday (March 06, 2023) at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chittagong. Preview of Bangladesh vs England 3rd ODI Match in 2023 Bangladesh and England teams reached the port city of Chittagong to play the third and last ODI of the series. Although both teams reached there early on Saturday, neither team practiced. Both teams have done their last-minute preparations on Sunday (March 5). Bangladesh practiced at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium from 10 am to 1 pm, and England practiced from 2 pm to 5 pm. The English camp has confirmed the series by 2-0 by winning two matches of the three-match ODI series. The Tigers have lost the ODI series at home after seven years. Coincidentally, Bangladesh last lost their last ODI series at home to England in 2016. Read More: BAN vs ENG Series 2023: Bangladesh T20 Squad Analysis While Engldoesn’tsn’t have any pressure on their shoulder, Bangladesh will surely take the pressure to win the last match. At least a win can be a consolation for the team as well as the fans. Bangladesh don’t have any major changes in the team except for removing Shamim Hossain Patwari from the team. Shamim got a chance in the team on the evening before the second ODI against England. But he did not get a chance to play the match. However, the 22-year-old left-handed batsman is still on the team. England, on the other hand, seems to continue with their current playing XI. There were roughly two types of wickets in Mirpur in the first two matches of the Bangladesh and England ODI series. The first match saw the familiar form of Mirpur - slow, turning, uneven bounce wickets. In the second, it was much more batting-friendly. And England has adapted better than Bangladesh with both types of wickets. According to the condition and situation, Dawid Malan and Jason Roy scored two centuries and became the man of the match. On the other hand, in front of the English bowlers, Bangladeshi batsmen seemed to be foreigners on their own ground.

Not only the first two matches of the England series but Mustafiz has also been lost in ODIs for quite some time. But, no other Bangladeshi bowler has bowled as many overs (100.2) as him and has such a low economy rate (4.61) in the last year. Tomorrow will be Mustafiz’s another chance to do something for the country.

After England scored 326 runs for 7 wickets with opener JaRoy’soy’s century, Bangladesh was knocked out of the match. While there was a little hope in the run chase, it was also lost due to the failure of the top-order batsmen. After the top order collapsed, Bangladesh could not turn arouBangladesh’ssh’s innings stopped at 194 runs in 44.4 overs. In the first match, Chris Woakes’ bowling troubled the Bangladteam’sam’s top-order batsmen. Sam Curran took the new ball in the second match as Woakes was rested. Curran is known for swinging the new ball. And that swing became a disaster for Bangladeshi batsmen.

After that, there was nothing else to talk about in the batting of the Bangladesh team except for Shakib-Tamim’sim’s partnership. As the partnership was broker, it was confirmed that Bangladesh lost the series as well as the winning streak in the home ground.
