BAN vs IRE 1st T20I Match Preview:

The T20I series between Bangladesh and Ireland kicks off today at the Bir Sreshtho Flight Lieutenant Matiur Rahman Stadium, Bangladesh. Bangladesh entered this series with a point to prove, especially after a heavy 0-3 defeat against the West Indies in their previous T20I assignment at home. Before that, they had put up a stronger show, securing a series win over Afghanistan. With Liton Das taking charge as captain and wicketkeeper-batter, the hosts will be keen to regroup and return to winning ways.

Ireland, meanwhile, hasn’t enjoyed much success recently either. Their last T20I series ended in disappointment as England outplayed them, sealing the final match by six wickets. With Paul Stirling leading the side, Ireland will look to put their recent struggles behind them and script a fresh chapter with a positive result in the opening game.
