Bangladesh thrashed Ireland

The Tigers' win margin was their largest in ODIs, and their total of 338 for eight also ranked among the top 10 greatest totals against Ireland. It was always going to be challenging for Ireland's players to play against a nation that had recently finished a six-match white ball series with the world champions England, winning the T20Is 3-0.

After a promising opening partnership of 60 between Stephen Doheny and Paul Stirling, only George Dockrell, with his customary late defiance, provided any resistance as the Bangladesh pacemen, not their well-known spinners, did the damage. The best bowler was Waringstown's Graham Hume, whose three late wickets gave him his maiden four-wicket haul for Ireland. However, everyone else's line and length was too erratic, and the three slow bowlers combined for 142 runs in their 24 overs, with just Andy McBrine picking up a wicket.
