Bangladesh vs Ireland prediction

Bangladesh made it look easy against Ireland in each of the two tests matches the pair contested earlier this month. Now the Tigers aim to do the same in these T20i games. The likelihood is that Ireland will be more competitive in this format, as you would expect in the shortest version of the international game.

The conditions in Bangladesh have obviously suited the home side and Ireland have had no answer to them, particularly on the batting front. That may well continue into the T20 leg of the tour and it’s worth backing Bangladesh to again set the pace with victory.
