Tigresses take on Ireland in 2nd T20 today in must win game

In a bid to level the three-match series, Bangladesh Women's team will take on Ireland today (Saturday) at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium, reports BSS.

The match turned out to be a 'do or die' game for the hosts to keep the series alive as they lost the first game by 12 runs.

Ireland put up 169-5, which was their highest total against Bangladesh in this format.

But Bangladesh were still on course of a victory when the opening pair Dilara Akter and Sobhana Mostary put on 103 runs for the opening stand.

This was Bangladesh's highest stand in opening partnership in their history but despite the openers' effort Bangladesh fell short, largely due to the irresponsible batting of the middle order.
