LIVE SCORES - Ireland vs Bangladesh - 1st ODI

Current ODI Form Ireland:

Ireland have been in an ordinary form in ODI cricket currently. They tied the 3 match series played against Zimbabwe in January this year at 1-1. However, Ireland lost a 3 match series against Bangladesh in March this year by a 2-0 margin.

Players to look out for in Ireland:

1. Paul Stirling- He is the Trump Card for Ireland. Stirling strikes the ball hard at the top of the order and takes his team off to a flier. If he takes off in the powerplay overs, Ireland always have a great chance against the opposition.

2. Craig Young- Young is spearheading the bowling attack for Ireland for quite some time. He provides early breakthroughs for his team and also doesn't leak runs at crunch moments of the match.

Current ODI Form Bangladesh:

Bangladesh have been in a superb form in ODI cricket lately. They have defeated Ireland in a 3 match series by 2-0 margin in March this year. They also defeated India by a margin of 2-1 in December last year.

Players to look out for in Bangladesh:

1. Najmul Hossain Shanto- He showed great signs of form and dependability at the top of the order against England. Shanto is in fine form and is expected to reap it's rewards in the ODI series against Ireland.
