Bangladesh vs Ireland, 9th Match, Group B at Dhaka, Feb 25 2011 - Ball by Ball Commentary

that'll be that! Bangladesh have done it, Shafiul finishes with four as Rankin chips to short midwicket. The crowd go absolutely wild, as well they might. Halfway through the hosts were in big trouble after a shoddy batting performance but their bowlers have pulled off a vital victory

nicely played here, worked off the pads down to deep square leg

banged in short and it loops slowly over Dockrell

slower ball well wide of off stump, too wide for the umpire's liking, in fact

driven, firmly but without much timing and it dribbles wide of cover

hint of swing here for the wild-eyed Shafiul, just tailed back into Rankin late

full from Shafiul, Rankin swishes and misses. Looks every bit the No. 11 he is

finally Rankin picks up a single, fiddling this around the corner

worked off the toes into the midwicket region

Bangladesh throwing themselves around the field. Whipped into the leg side but smartly fielded

driven carefully to cover

again Rankin has played and missed outside off stump. Shakib desperate to finish it off

Dockrell gets very deep into his crease to push a single down the ground

fuller this time, Rankin was hanging back and held his bat a long way out from his body. Didn't look like connecting

play and a miss outside off

outside off stump and left alone. Shakib has cut a very serious figure all day and is ordering his troops around firmly between deliveries

turned away into space, looked like a couple was on but some chaotic calling meant only a single was taken

gets a wide delivery outside off, he bowled a few of those, stabbed away to deep point

Shafiul does it again! Johnston has asked for a review but it looks gone, lbw prodding forward to a ball that nipped back. Yes indeed, time to celebrate, the review confirms the wicket. The light is disappearing now for Ireland

ideal for Ireland, Johnston keeps the strike by nudging a single to midwicket. 35 runs will feel like 135 though
