Right then, that’s all from this rather one-sided affair. Ireland take a 1-0 lead in the series and will have their sights set on wrapping things up in the next game, while Bangladesh will be eager to bounce back and push it to a decider. We’ll return to this very venue for the 2nd T20I on Saturday, 29th November, with the action starting at 12 pm GMT, and as always, you’re welcome to join us early for all the pre-match coverage and build-up. Until then, cheers and goodbye!
The victorious skipper of Ireland, Paul Stirling, is all smiles as he walks up to have a chat. He says that they turned up really well and points out that they were playing a full-strength team after a long time. Says some of the senior-pros made their way back in the side. Overall, he says they were excellent in every department, but admits that they were a bit sloppy in the field towards the end, as they dropped a few catches. Further tells that they have got a couple of more attempts to improve and win the series. Mentions that being 1-0 up in the series has put them in that comfort zone of doing better in the remaining matches. Concludes by saying that they would like to take the momentum into the second T20I.
Ireland's Matthew Humphreys is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his superb bowling performance. He picked up a sensational 4-wicket haul and conceded only 13 runs off his 4 overs. He says that he was definitely struggling to grip the ball. Adds that he was trying to bowl more arm balls, and under lights, he got some swing, which worked in his favour. On the arm balls, he shares that he has been working on those for quite a while now, especially with the new ball. Appreciates the batting from Stirling and Tim Tector, which helped them to lay a solid foundation. Says that Mark Adair and Barry McCarthy were amazing early on with the ball, which put the pressure on Bangladesh.
The captain of Bangladesh, Litton Das, reflects on the defeat. He says that their bowlers did a decent job, especially the way Mustafizur Rahman bowled with variations. He then admits that if they were a bit better with the ball overall, they could have restricted Ireland to 20 runs or less than what they posted in the end. Details that the pitch had something in it for the bowlers. But also shares that he knows how the Chattogram pitch is good for batting as well. Highlights that there was dew, but they already lost too many wickets inside the Powerplay. Also adds that when you loose so many wickets earlier in the innings, it is not easy for the middle order batters to come and score freely. Appreciates Tawhid Hridoy for batting impressively and says that he is an important batter in their lineup. Mentions that he still believes in his team and stresses giving their best. But for that, he mentions about playing their A game. Ends by saying that they will look to come strongly in the next match.
Presentation Time...
Ireland will be thrilled with their bowling display. Matthew Humphreys set the early tone with a wicket in the very first over, while Mark Adair was excellent with the new ball, picking up a couple of key scalps including the big one of Litton Das. Barry McCarthy then piled on the pressure by striking inside the Powerplay as well. The bowlers kept things tight and never allowed Bangladesh to build any momentum except for a couple of overs, although Josh Little had an off day and went for a few too many. Humphreys returned later to rip through the middle order with three wickets in one over, completely breaking the back of the chase, and McCarthy chipped in with two more. The only minor blot was some sloppy catching at the end, which denied them the chance to bowl Bangladesh out earlier.
Earlier in the game, Ireland put up an imposing total thanks to a splendid 69 off 45 from Harry Tector, and the real positive for them was that everyone who got in contributed. For Bangladesh, Tanzim Hasan Sakib picked up a couple of wickets, while Rishad Hossain and Shoriful Islam claimed one apiece, but apart from Mustafizur Rahman, the rest leaked too many runs, particularly in the death overs.
Bangladesh’s chase was one to forget, as they never really found any momentum at all. Their top order crumbled early, limping to 20/4 in the Powerplay - their lowest such score since the 2024 T20 World Cup. Jaker Ali and Tawhid Hridoy tried to steady the ship, but once Ali fell, Hridoy was left battling alone. To his credit, he kept playing his shots and fought it out till the end, finishing unbeaten on 83 - his highest T20I score, but the target was always out of reach.
Ireland strike first in the series! It’s also their maiden win in this format in 2025, and with a display like this, they’ve sent out a strong message that they can take down higher-ranked sides. For Bangladesh, the concerns continue to grow - after the 3-0 loss to West Indies, this now makes it their fourth straight defeat at this venue.

Curtis Campher To Tawhid Hridoy
MISFIELD, FOUR! A length ball, outside off. Tawhid Hridoy climbs on the bounce and flat bats it to the right of the bowler. The long on fielder, Mark Adair, moves sideways to his left, and slides to cut it off, but fails to do so. The ball gets parried through to the ropes. Hridoy remains unbeaten on 83, his highest T20I score. IRELAND WIN BY 39 RUNS AND GO 1-0 UP IN THE SERIES!

Barry McCarthy To Shoriful Islam OUT!
OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Barry McCarthy strikes for the third time in this match. A wobble-seam delivery, full and on the leg stump line. Shoriful Islam clears the front foot again, and tries to slog it over deep mid-wicket, but gets no timing whatsoever. It goes off the inner half as the bat twists at the point of contact. The ball sails over but goes only as far as George Dockrell stationed in the deep. A simple catch taken by George a few yards inside the ropes. Shoriful Islam departs for 12 (13) and Bangladesh are 122/9.

Barry McCarthy To Shoriful Islam
Good review from Shoriful Islam! Bashed hard on a good length, around middle and leg stump line. It lands and just nips in a touch. Shoriful Islam gets his front foot out of the way to loft it over mid on, but misses on the inside edge and gets rapped on the thigh pad. A big shout for LBW from the Irish players, and the umpire obliges. Shoriful Islam has opted for a review to challenge the on-field decision, but if there is no bat involved, this looks straight. Okay, UltraEdge shows nothing, but the Ball Tracking saves Shoriful as the ball is pitching outside the leg stump. The on-field decision is reversed.

The fielder stationed in the deep, initially runs to the opposite side and eventually tries to make amends by running to his right, but it is too late by then as the ball hugs the fence.

Curtis Campher To Shoriful Islam
IN THE AIR... PUT DOWN! Gareth Delany is having a day to forget. A bit on the expensive side and now, drops a genuine chance. On a back of a length, on the leg stump. Shoriful Islam whips it off the hips but mistimes it off the inner half of the bat. The ball flies and dips in front of deep backward square leg, where Gareth Delany misjudges the ball's trajectory and leaves a bit too much to do in the end. He does dive forward eventually to scoop it before the ground, but grasses it in the end. A single taken.

Matthew Humphreys To Nasum Ahmed OUT!
OUT! STUMPED! That is some sensational glove work from Lorcan Tucker. Matthew Humphreys fires this one full but down the leg side. Nasum Ahmed tries to flick it away but misses and loses his balance as well. Tucker is quick to move to his left, grabs the ball, and takes the bails off in a flash. He looks very confident and is already celebrating with his teammates, and it looks very close as well. The third umpire is called in and the replay shows that the back foot of Nasum is in the air when the stumps are broken. Third wicket of the over, and Bangladesh are eight down now. Also, Matthew Humphreys gets his fourth wicket and he is on a hat-trick now.
Is Nasum stumped out? Excellent work behind the stumps by Lorcan Tucker. He collects the ball behind the stumps and whips off the bails in a flash. Nasum Ahmed's back leg seems to have lifted for a moment, and that's exactly when the bails are dislodged. The game of fractions, is what cricket is called. Hence proved.
Into the tail of Bangladesh now. Nasum Ahmed walks in at number 9.

Matthew Humphreys To Rishad Hossain OUT!
OUT! LBW! Matthew Humphreys with a double strike in the over. He slows it up this time, full and on middle. Rishad Hossain tries to work it across the line but plays completely down the wrong line and gets wrapped on his pads right in front of the stumps. There is a big appeal for LBW, and the finger goes up. Rishad has a chat with his partner and takes the review, but more in desperation. UltraEdge confirms no bat involved and Ball Tracking comes up with three reds with the ball crashing into the leg stump. Rishad falls for a three-baller, and Bangladesh are 74/7, still needing 108 runs in 44 balls.
A review for LBW. Rishad Hossain has challenged the on-field decision. UltraEdge shows no bat involved. Three reds on the Ball Tracking as the ball is projected to smash the leg stump. OUT. The on-field decision is upheld.

However, he fails to get under it and mistimes it off the toe-end of the bat. It flies towards long on, where Harry Tector judges it well and grabs it around his waist height. He does well to keep his balance with one foot in the air and holds onto it nicely. Bangladesh are six down now.
Matthew Humphreys (3-0-10-1) returns into the attack, replacing Josh Little.

DRINKS! Bangladesh have found a bit of momentum with that last over, but the challenge for them is that they have to continue in this fashion till the end here. With every single or dot ball, the asking rate will grow rapidly, and they need a special effort from the two out there - Jaker Ali and Tawhid Hridoy to take this game deep. Ireland just needs to stay calm and do what they have done so far. It will be hard with all the dew, but if they stick to their plans, they can close this game out.

Matthew Humphreys To Tawhid Hridoy
At 106.9 kph, Matthew bowls it outside off, on a length. Tawhid Hridoy slaps it off the back foot to sweeper cover for a run. And again, ordinary running by Jaker. Hridoy looks for the second, but Jaker is a bit slow to complete the run.

Matthew Humphreys To Tawhid Hridoy
On middle, on a fractionally fuller length. Tawhid Hridoy plays off the back foot and hits it to the left of mid off. He is keen to pinch in a single and is already halfway through, but has to retreat back frustratingly as Jaker is caught ball-watching.

Josh Little To Jaker Ali
Excellent effort by Tim Tector. Fuller and wide on off, Jaker Ali carves it behind square on the off side, but fails to keep it along the ground. The ball goes flat to the left of the backward point fielder, where Tim Tector dives full-length and also gets his hands on the ball, but just doesn't manage to cling on it. The ball is parried behind to the deep for a couple of runs. Full marks for the commitment though.

Mark Adair To Tawhid Hridoy
Short of a length and around off, Tawhid Hridoy cuts it through point for a single. Adair concedes his first run on his 10th ball.
Bangladesh are under tremendous pressure as their top order has been blown away in just the fourth over. Despite a lot of dew already settled in, Ireland have been right on the money with their plans and execution. In fact, Mark Adair has generated more swing than any Bangladeshi pacer and is yet to concede a run. Bangladesh need stability, and they will expect that from Tawhid Hridoy, who is in at number 5.

He mistimes it off the bottom part of his bat in the air towards deep mid-wicket, where George Dockrell comes forward a bit and takes a good catch. Bangladesh are 5/3, chasing 182 runs.

NOT OUT! Floated, full and outside off, Parvez Hossain Emon changes his stance early to go for the reverse sweep but misses it. Lorcan Tucker grabs it behind the stumps. He holds onto it for a while before breaking the stumps as Emon lifts his back leg for a moment. However, the replay shows that the foot is grounded in time.
An umpire's review for stumping. The side-on replay shows that Emon's back foot was in the air briefly to balance himself up. But he got it grounded just in the nick of time, before the stumps are broken by Tucker.

OUT! TAKEN! Mark Adair gets the big fish here, and Ireland are on top now. This is banged into the pitch, outside off. Litton Das stays back and decides to cut it away. However, for some reason, he does not go through his shot fully and just hangs his bat out. It takes the top edge and goes in the air towards point, where Tim Tector moves to his left and takes a simple catch. Litton departs for 1 off 3, and Bangladesh are 4/2, and they need 178 runs to win.
