That is it from this game then! 29th is when the second T20I game will be played and that is a must-win for the visitors if they are to stay alive in the series whereas, Bangladesh with a win can seal the series. That game begins at 1330 IST (0800 GMT). Till then, goodbye and take care!
Shakib Al Hasan says they need all-round performances and that is what they are doing in the last few games. Adds the openers were really good and played with good intent and that is what they needed. Ends by saying, the pacers have been really good and they have stepped up when needed.
Rony Talukdar has been awarded the MAN OF THE MATCH!
Paul Stirling says they were good in periods, they were also a tad unlucky but they needed to build more pressure. Adds it is pleasure to captain Ireland and he enjoys it.
... TIME FOR PRESENTATION ...
Earlier in the day, after being inserted, Bangladesh crossed the 200-run mark thanks to their openers but just as the innings was coming to an end, the rain arrived and with three balls to go to complete the 20th, the covers were got on. Then there was a long break however, the rain stopped and Ireland needed 104 in 8 overs which they were not able to chase.
A convincing win then for Bangladesh to take a 1-0 lead in the series and it is also their 4th win in a row. The start though was brilliant for Ireland. Chasing over 100 in 8 overs, Ross Adair and Paul Stirling hit the ball to all parts of the groud in the Powerplay but once that ended, wickets fell in heaps. Taskin Ahmed was the star with the ball with a four-fer but the likes of Shakib, Hasan Mahmud and Mustafizur Rahman were also very impressive.

OUT! TAKEN! What a catch that is! WOW! Taskin has 4 now! On the pads, a slower one. Harry Tector is through the flick shot early. It goes uppishly towards deep square leg. Mehidy Hasan dives forward and takes it. Five legal deliveries will now win it for Bangladesh.
