The Harry Taktor-Curtis Kampfer pairing was brilliant in overcoming the pressure Ireland had put on with the ball in the first session. Tiger captain Shakib Al Hasan had a worried look on his forehead. Mehdi Hasan Miraj relieved the captain by breaking that pair. After that, Taijul Islam also joined the wicket hunt. Shariful Islam, who won the toss in Mirpur on Tuesday (April 4), pushed Ireland into bat at the start. Bangladesh continued to pressure the Irish who lost the first wicket by 11 runs and picked up two more doors Ireland is in danger after losing 3 wickets for just 48 runs.

Then the Irish overcame the initial setback with a pair of 74 runs. But the two spinners Mehdi Hasan Miraj and Taijul Islam pushed the visitors to the back foot again. First, Mirage brought back Tactor who scored a half-century. He was bowled by Mirage after playing an inning of exactly 50 runs off 92 balls with 6 fours and 1 six. Mirage will own 150 wickets in Tests if he gets only 3 doors after Taktor’s departure, Peter Moore departed with another run added. Taijul’s ball was caught by Tamim Iqbal, who scored 1 run. After Moore, Taijul’s victim, Curtis Kampfer, scored 34 runs off 73 balls. Irish lost 3 wickets between 122-124 runs.
