plays the ball to deep mid-wicket and they jog through. Bangladesh win by 71 runs
Ireland vs Bangladesh, 1st T20I at Belfast, Jul 18 2012 - Ball by Ball Commentary
Bangladesh where worthy winners of the match today.
Tamim and Shakib got Bangladesh off to a good start and it was carried on further down the order.
190 was always going to be a tough target for Ireland to reach and they really struggled once bangladesh started bowling spin.
Elias Sunny has just been named man of the match for his bowling figures of 5-13.
Thats the best bowling performance by a Bangladesh player in T20 internationals.
Ireland lost too many wickets to put up a real challenge, so Bangladesh now go 1-0 up in this three match series.
Luckly we do not have too long to wait as the next game is going to be on Friday.
So please join me then, this is Justin Smyth saying goodbye from a very cloudy Belfast. Goodnight.
