Scored 56 runs in 14 overs. Till now Ireland lost 2 wickets. Bangladesh team bowler Hasan Mahmud has done a great performance. He took 2 wickets with 12 runs from 5 overs.

BAN Vs IRE , Match Delay Due to Rain
Bangladesh decision to field first after winning the toss in the second ODI against Ireland showcases their strategic intent. It could be difficult for the batsmen to perform in the opening innings on a pitch that traditionally favours fast bowlers after rain. Bangladesh aims to capitalize on this advantage and put pressure on Ireland batting lineup. Also Bangladesh enters the match with an unchanged squad demonstrating their confidence in the team abilities. The current score of Ireland at 16 runs for the loss of 2 wickets in 6.1 overs indicates a promising start while Hasan Mahmud outstanding performance of taking 2 wickets for just 8 runs adds to Bangladesh positive momentum.Not a good start from Ireland as they have lost both of there openers and score after 12 over is just 45 runs. Due to rain play has been restricted to 45 overs and if Ireland kept going with 3.7 to 4 runs per over then they are likely to score around 200 in 45 overs. Ireland need to give target of over 225 to give there bowlers something reasonable to defend. Andy Balbirnie and Tector are on the crease and they must remain on the crease till 25th over.

If there is no further interruption due to bad weather, it is a game for Bangladesh to win. Ireland already lost 2 wickets but it looks like Harry Tector is counter attacking and if the Ireland top order is able to build good partnership then they will be able to build a competitive total for Bangladesh to chase and this series was important for Ireland to get a place in the World cup but weather is not helping their cause. Also Bangladesh enters the match with an unchanged squad demonstrating their confidence in the team abilities.

50 overs to 45 overs have been decided considering the time lost due to rain. And already the captains of both the teams have completed the toss and Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal won the toss and decided to field first against Ireland.
Winning the toss in today's match was very important for both teams because after rain the pitch is usually very fast where fast bowlers get a lot of advantage and it is very difficult for the batsmen to deal with the ball in the first innings maybe Bangladesh wants to use that opportunity.
In the second ODI match, Bangladesh is going to enter the field with an unchanged squad against Ireland.

The toss has just taken place and Bangladesh won the toss and decided to bowl. How rational the decision to bowl Bangladesh has been is usually understood when you get rained out. It is believed that Bangladesh will get an additional advantage by bowling earlier.

Bangladesh will play three ODI matches against Ireland, one of which has already been abandoned due to rain. And there are many doubts about the second ODI match. If all the matches are abandoned like this then organizing this series will be completely futile for the team management.
After the first ODI match was abandoned due to rain, Bangladesh cricket team will play the second ODI match against Ireland today.
Although they were not able to score good runs in the first innings in the last match, but if the rain does not interrupt the match today, we can expect a good innings from Bangladesh. Bangladesh is scheduled to take the field today against Ireland with an unchanged squad.
If there is any change then maybe we can see Mustafizur Rahman as Shariful Islam's replacement. We will hope that the second ODI match between Bangladesh and Ireland is not abandoned today due to rain.

Bangladesh is a strong team in comparison to Ireland. They recently won 3 match ODI series against Ireland by 2-0, prior to that Bangladesh lost 2 home ODI series against England and India. Bangladesh scored 246 against Ireland in first ODI and they were enough to win the match as Bengali bowlers have picked 3 early wickets of Irish Batsmen. Bangladesh batsmen specially top order need to be careful today and shouldn't repeat mistakes of 1st ODI.

I saw the emotional interview of Yashasvi Jaiswal yesterday after the big win by RR. Now the question that comes to my mind is that, will Rohit Sharma and the Indian team selectors give him a chance in the upcoming ODIWC.
I guess he might get as there are a couple of players injured. He has also proven he can bat pretty aggressively in the shorter format. He might do the same in a 50 over match too. The ones who were the probably considered for the final team are either out of form or are playing pathetically. I am talking about Prithvi Shaw, Sarfaraz Khan and etc.

Almost everyone managed to score in the first match except Litton Das. Litton Das has not been able to show any performance in international cricket for a long time. If we look at the last England and Bangladesh ODI series there was no dominance by Litton Das but his poor performance in every match affected the team greatly. From that situation, no change is still being noticed. Although he is a good player for Bangladesh team but his consistent poor performance poses a big danger for the team.
LOL dude. Are you sure about this? For the year 2022, Litton scored 577 ODI runs, at an average of 52.45. This is the best by any Bangladeshi batsmen in this format. He scored one century and two half-centuries, all coming against quality opposition. Anyway, let's first see whether today's match will get completed or not. Heavy rains and thunderstorms are predicted at Chelmsford and I am not sure whether the match can be completed. Ireland has failed to secure a direct world cup slot. So the outcome of the next two matches doesn't matter much.
Bangladesh's top-order players did not perform well in the first match. Liton Das was in very good form. But he could not collect any runs. Captain Tamim Iqbal also failed to play a big innings. Bangladesh team is not used to playing on a pace-friendly pitch. This is why they face a lot of problems in batting. If the batsmen of the top order played with some responsibility, it was not a difficult task for Bangladesh to collect a big score.
However, Shanto and Mushfiqur batted well at the moment the team needed it. If these two batsmen did not play well, Bangladesh would not have been able to collect even 200 runs.
I definitely have high expectations from Bangladesh in the second ODI tomorrow. They should learn from the mistakes of the first match and correct their mistakes.
There is >80% chance of rain tomorrow at Chelmsford. Anyway, Ireland has already failed to qualify directly for the ODI World Cup, after the first match was washed out. Now even if they win both the remaining matches, they can only finish at no.9 in the points table for the 2020–2023 ICC Cricket World Cup Super League. They need to prepare well for the 2023 Cricket World Cup Qualifier. 2 out of the 10 participants will earn a ticket to India, to take part in the ODI world cup. And for Ireland, it is not an impossible task to finish among top-2. However, Shanto and Mushfiqur batted well at the moment the team needed it. If these two batsmen did not play well, Bangladesh would not have been able to collect even 200 runs.

Bangladesh did not perform well in the first ODI. But there was certainly a chance for Bangladesh to win the match if it was played. Let's see what happens in the next match. Bangladesh will try harder in the next match. But I was really not impressed with the batting performance of Bangladesh. They will be going into the world cup very soon. The performance has to improve very quickly if they want to have a chance at the world cup. I understand that it is very unrealistic to actually think that Bangladesh might actually reach the final of the world cup. But I think there is a chance.

The overall performance from Bangladesh in the first innings was not good. Ireland did lose quick wickets. That is the reason I say that Ireland was going to lose.
But if Ireland was actually able to hold on to the wickets they might actually have gone very far. But I still highly doubt that Ireland would have actually been able to win. If the match was continued after the rain I am more certain that they wouldn't have been able to win. Because Bangladesh still had Shakib Al Hasan.
I agreed about Bangladesh performance in first ODI of this series because they were in well control and have good chance for taking lead with their performance but sadly rain prevent them from doing this but now after watching this match I have feeling Bangladesh can win this series because they are having well-adjusted for the remaining matches if we have no more rains in this series with most chances things can go for the draw of the series as well because rains are having their own agenda which is not controlled by anyone. But if Ireland was actually able to hold on to the wickets they might actually have gone very far. But I still highly doubt that Ireland would have actually been able to win. If the match was continued after the rain I am more certain that they wouldn't have been able to win. Because Bangladesh still had Shakib Al Hasan.
Even Bangladesh top order struggle but experienced middle order done good job at the end, and they were able to score 246 runs with after setting this target their bowlers were also done good job and take few early wickets which were helpful for them in this first match.

The West Indies Cricket Board has agreed to a 3 match ODI series against United Arab Emirates. This is what money power can do. West Indies will never schedule a match against teams consisted of native players, such as Scotland, Nepal or Namibia. But then, UAE and USA are the blue eyed boys of BCCI as well as the ICC. The matches will be held in Sharjah sometime next month, and will act as preparation for the ODI World Cup Qualifier. All of the matches will be played in D/N format and will be completed before the start of the qualifier tournament (18th June).
Since the match between Ireland and Bangladesh was washed out yesterday, South Africa has qualified directly to the ODI World Cup of 2023. Ireland needed 30 points from 3 matches, but since the first match was washed out, they received only 5 points from that one. Anyway, I am glad that the most deserving team entered the world cup. It would have been difficult to imagine a ODI World Cup without South Africa. Ireland now needs to participate in the World Cup Qualifier tournament, in order to gain entry to the main tournament.
Ireland suffered the most as the match was abandoned due to rain. Virtually every match in the series was a final for Ireland. Ireland had no choice but to upset Bangladesh to get a direct place in this year's World Cup held in India. However, Ireland's hopes were dashed after yesterday's match was abandoned. Ireland scored 65 runs for the loss of 3 wickets in 16.3 overs to meet Bangladesh's target of 247 runs at Chelmsford. Ireland did not field due to rain, after which the match was declared abandoned at 12 noon Bangladesh time. As a result, South Africa overcame Ireland and qualified directly for the World Cup. Now Ireland have to play the qualifiers to get to the World Cup and then go to the World Cup. So Ireland suffered the most by abandoning this match.If there is an important match for any team then if the ICC can hold a reserve day that will help instill more confidence in cricket. It can be beneficial for all teams.
We often see matches being abandoned due to weather. ICC should check the weather report and then select the venue. Or reserve day. Keeping reserve days is very costly. However, it has become very important now. However, if you select the venue by looking at the weather report, most of the matches will not be abandoned. If one or two matches are abandoned in the series, it affects the players very badly. Players' performance is likely to deteriorate, players lose confidence. And so ICC should work on this issue.
This won't suit well with cricket as well as other sports. With such plans additional expenses need ro be met. Apart all, when match gets rescheduled the interest to watch cricket gets down. Earlier there were plans of constructing closed stadium for cricket. Such things wouldn't be good. I'm not sure whether there is any cricket ground being constructed in such architecture.
There are a number of sports facilities with retractable roof, and some of these facilities have been used to stage cricket matches in the past. The Docklands Stadium (now known as the Marvel Stadium) is one such facility. But such stadiums are extremely expensive. The Docklands stadium cost some A$460 million to construct. And there are plans for another round of redevelopment, which will cost some $225 million. The Melbourne Renegades use this facility as one of their home grounds for the BBL (matches are played using a drop-in pitch).
