Winning the second and final ODI match by 6 wickets, Bangladesh cricket team could level the 2 ODI series against Ireland 1-1.

Bangladesh opening batsman Tamim Iqbal and Shafiul Islam played an important role behind this victory. With the bat, Tamim Iqbal scored 91-ball 74 that helped his team to ensure victory. On the other hand, seam bowler, Shafiul Islam, took his career best 4 wickets for 55 runs that did not allow Ireland to make enormous score.

Ireland captain, William Porterfield, who scored century in the first ODI, got dismissed early scoring only 6 runs from 19 balls. Ireland was put under huge pressure after losing three wickets for 28. Niall O'Brien inspired them hitting some boundaries, but he was soon dismissed.
