Bangladesh got an easy target against Ireland

Bangladesh finished the third day with disappointment but at the beginning of the fourth day, Ireland was all out. Ireland’s second innings ended at 292 runs. As a result, Bangladesh’s target in the only test match against the Irish was 138 runs. Ebadat Hossain was brought in in the second over of the fourth day on Friday (April 7). He brought the breakthrough. The Tiger pacer bowled Andy McBrien who had pulled the team to fifty earlier in the day. Ibadat also got the remaining wicket. Ebadat took the third wicket of the innings with a catch to Humke Liton. Meanwhile, Taijul Islam missed the opportunity to get 10 wickets against Ireland.

After taking 5 wickets in the first innings, he got 4 wickets in the second innings. Before that, the Irish ended the third day with 286 runs based on Tucker’s century and Tactor’s half-century. Traktor became the second batsman in Ireland’s Test history to score a century. Meanwhile, losing 4 wickets for 27 runs, the Irish lost only one wicket in the entire session on the third day. Captain Shakib Al Hasan came to bowl in the first over on the third day as well. Taijul was his companion. The two had shared four wickets for the Irish earlier in the day. On this day, however, Harry Tector and Peter Moore, the two unbeaten batsmen of the previous day, continued to face the Bangladeshi spinners aggressively. Batting 15 overs, they added 38 runs. Pacer Shariful Islam broke the pair by making Moore caught behind the wicket by Liton Das. He scored 16 runs off 78 balls with 3 fours. After Moore’s departure, Harry Tractor and Tucker took over the team. Ireland scored 214 runs in the first innings. In response, Bangladesh lost all wickets for 369 runs in the first innings. Mushfiqur Rahim scored a century for the Tigers. He hit 15 fours and a six in an inning of 126 runs off 166 balls. Among the rest, Shakib Al Hasan scored 87 and Mehdi Hasan Miraj scored 55 runs.
