It was the first ball of the 59th over and Lorcan Tucker picked up a flighted delivery from Taijul Islam over deep mid-wicket. Tamim, fielding in the deep, dove for the ball but was not in control of his momentum during the dive. He miscalculated and fell awkwardly. 

“We are all very serious. When playing a match, you won’t see that we are serious against India and less focused against Ireland. Focus stays the same."

Taskin’s rise has been synonymous with Bangladesh’s improved aggression in pace attack

Bangladesh’s long stretch of assignments since the Asia Cup last year will pause briefly after the lone Test against Ireland, starting from Tuesday, and resume with an away ODI series against the same opponents in May. The Tigers geared up for the longer version yesterday at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur but were without skipper Shakib Al Hasan, who himself had a far busier schedule off the field than rest of his teammates.

As Bangladesh look to seal the three-match T20I series against Ireland when they meet for the second game in Chattogram today, a lot of focus will once again be on the Tigers’ growing pace-bowling unit.

After dominant performances in the first two ODIs, Bangladesh will be looking to seal the three-match series against Ireland when the sides meet for the third and final game at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium today.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) did not include all-rounder Afif Hossain in the 14-member squad announced for the upcoming three-match T20I series against Ireland in Chattogram.

Everything he hit seemed to turn into something special, but what was even more special was how Mushfiqur Rahim kept doing it over and over as he notched the fastest ODI ton by a Bangladeshi.

Mushfiqur Rahim’s sleek carnage was a sight to behold for the plush crowd attending the game at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium today. The batter got 100 off 60 deliveries, the fastest ODI ton by a Bangladesh batter and it hooked Liton Das as well.

The batters showed intent in the middle overs which led to their highest score of 338 for eight in ODIs so far before the bowlers dismantled Ireland for 155
