Bangladesh Won By 8 Wicket Again To Ireland full match highlights and key moments.

Power Bangladesh to Series Victory Over Ireland

Chattogram, December 2, 2025 – In a dominant display of all-round cricket, Bangladesh crushed Ireland by 8 wickets in the third and final T20 International at the Bir Sreshtho Flight Lieutenant Matiur Rahman Stadium, securing a 2-1 series victory. The star of the show was undoubtedly opener Tanzid Hasan Tamim, who scripted history in the field before anchoring the chase with a blistering unbeaten half-century.

A Historic Fielding Performance

The match began with Ireland captain Paul Stirling winning the toss and electing to bat, hoping to put pressure on the hosts in the series decider. However, the day belonged to Tanzid Hasan from the very first innings. The young Bangladeshi cricketer etched his name in the record books by becoming the first fielder from a Full Member nation to take five outfield catches in a single T20I match. His safe pair of hands at long-on and deep mid-wicket proved fatal for the Irish batters, turning potential boundaries into dismissals and constantly breaking Ireland’s momentum.

Ireland’s Collapse: From Solid Start to Spin Web

Ireland actually began their innings with promise. Openers Paul Stirling and Tim Tector raced to 38/0 inside the first four overs, with Stirling looking particularly dangerous. He top-scored for the visitors with a brisk 38 off 27 balls, including five boundaries and a six.

However, the introduction of spin and the guile of Mustafizur Rahman completely derailed the Irish innings. Shoriful Islam drew first blood by bowling Tim Tector (17), sparking a collapse that saw Ireland slide from a comfortable 50/1 to a precarious 73/5.

Leg-spinner Rishad Hossain was instrumental in the middle overs, weaving a web around the Irish middle order. He claimed crucial wickets, including the prize scalp of Stirling, finishing with impressive figures of 3 for 21. At the other end, veteran pacer Mustafizur Rahman was at his lethal best, cleaning up the tail with his trademark cutters to finish with figures of 3 for 11. Ireland lost their last five wickets for just a handful of runs, folding for a paltry 117 in 19.5 overs.

The Chase: Clinical and Composed

Chasing a modest target of 118, Bangladesh started with positive intent but lost two quick wickets. Opener Saif Hassan made a quick-fire 19 off 14 balls before falling to Craig Young, and captain Litton Das departed cheaply for 7, leaving the hosts at 46/2.

Any hopes of an Irish comeback were quickly extinguished by Tanzid Hasan and Parvez Hossain Emon. Continuing his dream day, Tanzid played a mature yet aggressive knock, remaining unbeaten on 55 off just 36 balls. His innings was laced with 4 fours and 3 towering sixes, punishing anything loose from the Irish bowlers.

He found an able partner in Parvez Hossain Emon, who played second fiddle perfectly with a steady 33* off 26 deliveries. The pair shared an unbeaten 73-run partnership, guiding Bangladesh home with more than six overs to spare. Emon finished the game in style, pulling a short delivery to the square leg boundary to seal the match and the series.
