Bangladesh vs Ireland: Bangladesh will play against Ireland in the first ODI of a three-match series at the Shere Bangla National Stadium, in Mirpur on Wednesday, November 27. The visitors are on a white ball tour and will be playing a three-match T20I series after the one-dayers.
Bangladesh last featured in an ODI series back in March against the mighty Australians and suffered a disappointing 3-0 series loss. After that, the side participated in the T20 World Cup, a tournament they were originally scheduled to host but did not due to political turmoil in the country.
The team had an ordinary campaign. They beat Scotland in the World Cup but lost to West Indies, South Africa and England to get knocked out from the group stage. The Nigar Sultana-led side would want to bounce back in the white ball fixtures against Ireland.
On the other hand, Ireland could not qualify for the Women’s T20 World Cup. The Irish team last played international cricket in September against England. The series ended with the English women coming on top with a 2-1 series win. Orla Prendergast will once again be the key player in the side led by Gaby Lewis. Ireland will be looking forward to the series and hope to give Bangladesh a tough time at home.

Bangladesh vs Ireland, 1st ODI – Key Players
Bangladesh
- Nigar Sultana – Nigar has been the leading batter for Bangladesh, and in her most recent campaign, the T20 World Cup. It is hoped that she builds on this momentum, notching up big scores in this series and leading the scoring.
- Nahida Akter – She has a knack of picking up wickets in middle overs when her team needs the most. Nahida Akter will play a key role for Bangladesh in the upcoming matches against Ireland.
Ireland
- Orla Prendergast – She has been in outstanding form of late and, following a breakthrough summer season, landed a Women’s Big Bash League gig where she found notable success. Orla can be relied upon for an all-round effort.
- Aimee Maguire – She could be the best bowler in the opening ODI against Bangladesh. The spinner in the England series was the highest wicket-taker for her side with seven scalps. With the conditions assisting the spinners, Maguire’s role could be crucial.
