IRE VS BAN - 6th Match, Windies and Bangladesh in Ireland Tri-Series 2019

So, it proved to a stroll in the park for Bangladesh. The calmness with which they chased it down depicts how mature they have become off late especially as an ODI team. The league stage is over and we are all set for a mouth-watering final between Bangladesh and West Indies. Bangladesh have defeated them twice in the tournament. But you can trust West Indies to bring their 'A' game to the fore for a big match. Do join us for that, until then this is Varun Dixit signing off on behalf of Vineet, Hariprasad and Harish. Good Bye and take care!

Mashrafe Mortaza: We knew 300 was ok to chase it down. In the bowling, Abu was brilliant. And our batting was really good especially the top-order. We have won three matches in the series and we are confident about the final.

William Porterfield: Nice to spend some time in the middle but disappointed that it ended in a defeat. Bangladesh are looking very strong for the World Cup. We play Afghanistan every season now so we know what to expect from them.

Abu Jayed is the Player of the Match!

18:07 Local Time, 17:07 GMT, 22:37 IST: A comfortable chase for Bangladesh then. The openers, Tamim and Liton laid the platform with 117-run partnership. Once Tamim departed, Shakib took the responsibility. He scored a fifty too and then retired due to side strain. By that time Bangladesh had almost wrapped up the game. It was a mere formality and the calming presence of Mahmudullah ensured that the Asian country achieved the target without much fuss. The opener Liton Das was the highest scorer for the visitors with 76 off 67 balls. And for Ireland, Boyd Rankin picked up a couple of wickets. Hang on for the presentations.

Varun Venkatesan: There were times when 290 used to be a daunting target to chase. Not anymore. One could argue that T20 has changed the perspective of batsmen. But the reason for this is largely due to flat pitches which takes the bowlers completely out of the equation. No contest between bat and ball anymore.

Dockrell to Mahmudullah, SIX, that's more like it. Mahmudullah is more than capable of playing the big shots. And he flaunts it that time. He dashes down to come close to the ball and clobbers it over long-on for a maximum
