Bangladesh vs Ireland prediction

Bangladesh proved to be a class above Ireland last time out, totally outplaying the tourists on home soil, racking up the runs and making use of a spin-assisted surface later in the test. Ireland’s players are inexperienced in red ball cricket and it showed, as the batters struggled to survive amid the weight of runs against them and the long hours at the crease in hot temperatures.

The Tigers are unlikely to take their foot off the pedal as this series moves to Mirpur and it’s difficult to see Ireland being able to compete once again over the course of the scheduled five days. When comparing the batting of both sides, Bangladesh’s group are far more equipped to perform better across multiple hours of play with the spinners likely to be in play once again, so back another Tigers victory.
