Test match defeats to new teams are not new for Bangladesh. Earlier in 2019, the Tigers lost by a huge margin against Afghanistan at home. And this time, Ireland, who came down to play the fourth test in their history, is also eyeing the Bangladesh team. The story is quite old. When asked about Test status by the ICC trophy-winning coach Gordon Greenidge, he said that the team should not be given elite format status now. Which BCB did not like at all. The then-coach of Bangladesh lost his job for making such comments about his team. But, even after 23 years of status, the Test team could not become mature. Before the ongoing Dhaka Test, Bangladesh won only 16 of the 136 matches played. Loss in 102 matches. Tigers have been embarrassed many times in 5-day cricket outside the country. Even in home conditions, violence is not very beneficial.

Bangladesh’s weakness in the red ball is evident once again. The team is in trouble against Ireland, who got Test status in 2017. Those who have only 3 Test experience before, who came to play Test after almost 4 years, most of whom have no first-class cricket experience in the squad – they have put Bangladesh, who has experienced two eras of Test, under some pressure. The Irish took a lead of more than 130 by blowing away the fear of loss in the innings interval. However, fans are not surprised by such a situation against Ireland. The Tigers have had a bitter experience of losing against the Ancora team, who are behind in the rankings. In 2019, Afghanistan drowned them in despair in Chittagong. Rashid-Navira took a great victory of 224 runs only after playing the 3rd Test. There are 6 cricketers from the team that lost against the Afghans in the ongoing Test against the Irish. Can Shakib-Mushfiqur free the team from the fear of another Test tragedy?

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.

Wanted to pull Adair’s short ball. But a little earlier he continued to bat. The ball hits the helmet and hits the wicket behind the bat. The job was done before Litton could turn and clear the ball off the wicket. Lytton, who was playing brilliantly, was unfortunately bowled for 23 runs. A great four over the bowler’s head even 2 balls before the out. His short innings consisted of 3 fours and 1 six. The host camp lost the first wicket for 32 runs. Tamim’s partner at the crease, Nazmul Hossain Shanto.

Aggressive start for Bangladesh with a small target
The goal is not too big. Endless time on hand. Changed the strategy in the name of Bangladesh. Tamim Iqbal partner Liton Das. Before this, Liton opened only 6 Tests. Both try to play aggressively from the start. Tamim hits a great boundary off the second ball. In the second over, Liton hit McBreen with consecutive six-fours. The two added 23 runs in three overs. Ireland stopped at 292 runs, targeting 138 in front of Bangladesh. Ibadat dismissed McBreen-Hum, the two unbeaten batsmen of the previous day, for 292 all out. Irish lead 137. Bangladesh needs 138. Ireland managed to score only 6 runs on the morning of the fourth day. They batted 9 overs and 35 minutes. After losing 4 wickets by 13 runs, Ireland fought back against the fear of losing the innings. Lorcan Talker scored 108 runs. In addition, McBreen scored 72 and Tector scored 56 runs. Taijul took a maximum of 4 wickets in the second innings. Apart from this, Ibadat took 3 wickets and Shakib took 2 wickets. Shariful Islam took 1 wicket. In the beginning, Ibadat blew McBreen’s stamp. Shakib brought Ibadat in the fourth over. He brought success with an extraordinary delivery on the second ball. McBreen wanted to defend a fuller ball that was off-stamp. No profit. This batsman made Bangladesh suffer by evading the off-stump. Started the day on 71 runs and managed to add just 1 run. McBreen scored 72 runs off 156 balls with 8 fours and 1 six. His out broke the pair of 77-ball 24 runs. Hume’s partner at the crease is White.

Bangladesh entered the field on the third day of the first test against Ireland on Thursday. The hosts started the day trailing by 128 runs. 6 wickets in hand.

Bangladesh is going to play Test cricket after four months. The Tigers will play the only Test against Ireland on Tuesday (April 4). Taskin is out with an injury. The hosts want to play aggressive cricket in Tests like ODIs and T20s. Meanwhile, with only 3 Tests to play, the Irish are also up for the fight. The match will start at 10 am at Mirpur Stadium. Afghanistan and Ireland have been given Test status by the ICC but have not been included in the World Test Championship. As a result, Ireland’s match against Bangladesh is not part of the Test Championship. But Bangladesh is careful. Bangladesh is entering the field with the best eleven against Ireland, who have only played three Tests in international cricket. All but the injured Taskin and IPL-bound Mustafiz are in the match against Ireland. Meanwhile, Rezaur Rahman Raja got a place on the team instead of Taskin. Despite doubts over Shakib-Litton, it has finally been confirmed that they are playing against Ireland.

Meanwhile, it is questionable how dangerous Ireland is in front of Bangladesh, who have only played three Tests despite getting Test status five years ago. Most of the players in this Irish team have very little first-class experience. Captain Andrew Balbirnie also candidly admitted his inexperience. However, despite not having enough experience, the Irish have strength in mind. The team wants to jump into the Test with the joy of winning the last match of the T20 series. Again the Ireland captain is unfamiliar with the ground in Dhaka. Along with the Bangladeshi cricketers, the European team will also have to face the challenge of the conditions. But the format is a test, so the question remains. As strong as Bangladesh is in ODI cricket, Bangladesh is not as established in Tests. In total, the Tigers have won only 16 matches in 136 matches in their 22-year history. Lost in 102 matches and drew in 18 matches. In the last two Test Championships, Bangladesh was at the very bottom of the table. Despite playing a full series against Ireland, this is the Tigers’ first match in Mirpur. The coach and captain must check the pitch condition before the match. This Mirpur pitch against the Irish has been made pace-dependent. And if it is made for pacers, there is a possibility of playing three pacers in the Tiger team today. Test team of Bangladesh Shakib Al Hasan (Captain), Liton Das, Tamim Iqbal, Sadman Islam, Nazmul Islam Shanto, Muminul Haque, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mehdi Hasan Miraj, Taijul Islam, Rezaur Rahman Raza, Khaled Ahmed, Ebadat Hossain, Shariful Islam, and Mahmudul Hasan Joy.

After losing the toss in the only Test against Ireland, Bangladesh started fielding. The Tigers got off to a great start with three pacers. In controlled bowling, Shariful Islam and Ebadat Hossain hunted the two openers of the Irish in the beginning. Bangladesh got off to a great start at the Mirpur Sher-e Bangla National Cricket Stadium on Tuesday (April 4). The visiting Ireland lost 2 wickets to score only 27 runs due to the skill of the pacers. Ireland lost their first wicket for 11 runs. Murari Cummins was trapped leg before by Shariful Islam. He managed to score 5 runs off 10 balls after Shariful, Ebadat Hossain also got a wicket with the ball in hand. He dismissed James McCullum in his second over.

Ebadat’s outswinger hit the edge of McCullum’s bat and was caught by Nazmul Hossain Shanta at first slip. Shanta, however, could not collect the ball at the first opportunity. The left-hander took control of the ball by juggling several times. Till writing this report, after 12 overs, Ireland’s collection is 29 runs for 2 wickets. Andrew Balberney is batting for 9 runs. Accompanying him is Harry Tactor waiting to open the run book. Meanwhile, 6 people made their debut in the Ireland team in this match. One of whom has no first-class match experience. Made Test debut for Ireland; By Murray Cummins, Harry Tector, Curtis Campher, White, Lorcan Tucker, Graham Hume, and Ben White.

The first fight between the two teams is in white. Having played only three matches since receiving Test status in 2018, Ireland is a relatively weak opponent for Bangladesh. Although in this version, Bangladesh is also human. The host camp also lost a Test against Afghanistan, a new member who got Test status. Bangladesh has no win in the first match against all the ICC test-playing countries. They also had to lose against Afghanistan by hosting them at home. Bangladesh’s goal is to win. Bangladesh is also cautious with full confidence. A warning was also found in Mirage’s voice, ‘International game is an international game. Even if you play with the No. 1 team, the same feeling works for us, even if you play with the No. 10 team. Ireland is not worried about the result Ireland does not care about the result of the match, and how many days the match will be played.
