Bangladesh vs Ireland 3rd T20I Predictions - Hridoy to power Bangladesh to series triumph

“When we are under pressure, our bowlers come back hard. Big thanks to Saifuddin (17 off 7 balls), as it was not easy to come back and do what he did,” said Bangladesh skipper Litton Das after the win in the 2nd T20I. “Not concerned by loss of late wickets. New ball is easier to bat here, so after the break I said I need a run in the top.”

“We’ve shown some real progress over the last two games. There’s a lot that we did really, really well over the last two games, and there’s a few areas that we always look at that we want to try and improve on. In the first two games have really shown the clarity of thought that we’ve put into it, the process that we’re looking for. The T20 game has evolved massively over the last little period and I think we’ve identified that we want to free our players up to go out there and express themselves – and I think we’ve seen that in the last week,” said Heinrich Malan, Ireland’s head coach ahead of the series decider.
