Ireland vs Bangladesh, 1st ODI Highlights
The inevitable has happened, the game has been called off! South Africa has now qualified directly for the 50-over World Cup Ireland needed to win all three games. Two more games to go though in this series with the second game to begin at 1515 IST (0945 GMT) on the 12th of this month! Till then, goodbye and take care!
It is pouring out there now and the ground is full of puddles. Not long now before this game is called off.
The wait continues, the rain continues to fall, the chances of the game resuming looks unlikely. The covers are firmly placed for now.
Nothing new to update! The rain continues to fall and things just do not look great at the moment.
Well, the rain is now coming down and the umpires have decided to go off! We need 20 overs to be completed to get a result and we still have not done so. Let us hope the rain passes by quickly and we are at it again.
A good short one, Harry Tector evades it. He picked that late, moved out of the way quite late.
Edged and taken! Bangladesh feel so but the umpire does not. It is reviewed. Big moment in the game. NOT OUT! That has missed the bat by a long way and the impact is outside off too! Length and outside off, this one jags back in. Harry Tector looks to defend but misses. It hits the pad and goes behind to the keeper. Bangladesh lose a review.
A slower one on middle, this is worked through square leg for one.
On middle, kept out. A successful over by Taijul Islam!
Around off, this is guided towards point for one.
On middle, this is worked to mid-wicket.
On off, kept out.
OUT! TAKEN! Taijul Islam hangs onto this one, a good take and Ireland lose another just as the partnership was going along well. Taijul Islam sees the batter come down the track and drags the length back. Stephen Doheny pushes at it, it goes uppishly and low towards Taijul Islam who dives forward and takes it.
On the pads, this is worked behind square on the leg side for one.
BEATEN! Length and on off, this lands and moves away. Stephen Doheny is beaten as he pushes at it.
On the pads, Ebadot Hossain looks to flick but misses, it hits the pad and rolls on the leg side. A leg bye taken.
Around off, defended.
FOUR! Clipped away! Harry Tector gets two boundaries in a row and these are timely ones. On middle, this is worked through square leg for another boundary.
FOUR! Thumped down the ground! Lovely shot! Fuller and on off, this is pushed down to the long off fence for a boundary.
Good length and on middle, this is pushed to mid on. Another dot.
