Tigers look to up the ante following Tamim’s dismissal 

Star Sports Report

Despite the loss of skipper Tamim Iqbal early, Bangladesh remained unfazed in their chase of a daunting target in the rain-curtailed second and penultimate ODI against hosts Ireland in Chelmsford on Friday.

The Tigers are 37 for one after eight overs, with Liton Das (19*) and Najmul Hossain Shanto (9*) at the crease, and require a further 283 in remaining 37 overs. 

Update: Liton Das gets out for a run-a-ball 21 as a wide out-swinger from Graham Hume lures the right-hander to a drive, resulting in a faint edge to the wicket-keeper. Bangladesh are at 46 for two after 10, with Shakib Al Hasan in the middle.  

Earlier, in chase of 320 in 45 overs, Tamim and Liton began proceedings cautiously as the likes of Josh Little and Mark Adair made the most of the new ball and conditions.

However, Tamim, who tackled the majority of deliveries and survived a close leg-before decision, flicked an Adair delivery straight to the fielder at forward square leg where George Dockrell made no mistake. Tamim departed for a 13-ball seven.  

Following Tamim's departure, Liton and Shanto have combined to hit four boundaries and a six, with Liton hitting the maximum with a well-timed pull shot off Little in the innings' seventh over.
