The past game of the tri-nation ODI series among Ireland and Bangladesh got called off without a ball being bowled. After the abandoned encounter, William Porterfield’s Irishmen are scheduled to play against the Jason Holder-captained Windies at The Village in Dublin. With just two points from two games, Ireland need to win the up and coming encounter in order to stay alive in the tournament.
The Caribbean team, then again, began with a 196-run triumph over Ireland yet drooped to an eight-wicket rout versus the Tigers in spite of a century from Shai Hope. In spite of the fact that Holder’s men are the firm top picks to win the next contest, a loss could see them relying upon the result of the last round-robin game among Bangladesh and Ireland on Wednesday, May 15.
