... MATCH DAY ... 

It is now time for the final and third ODI match between Ireland and Bangladesh. At the start of the series, Ireland needed to complete a clean sweep, if they were to qualify directly to play the World Cup in India later this year, although they are now forced to take the longer route to the World Cup with the first match being washed out. Now, it is Bangladesh that lead the series 1-0. Bangladesh were brilliant during the chase and did it with three balls to spare. It was a delayed start to the second ODI due to the rain and the game was reduced to 45 overs but still, these two teams managed to put up a solid show in extremely windy conditions. Harry Tector stole the limelight with the bat in hand, with his knock of 140 runs. Although, it was the seventh-wicket stand that got them over 300. Ireland would be hoping that their openers could step up this time
