They won the last ODI against England by 50 runs and are clear favourites to beat Ireland in this three-match home series. The veteran batter Mahmudullah, Shamim Hossain, and Taijul Islam are dropped while Yasir Ali and Shoriful Islam return to the ODI setup.

Ireland drew 1-1 against Zimbabwe in a three-match away ODI series in January 2023. Harry Tector smashed a century and fifty from two innings, while Joshua Little and Mark Adair shone with five wickets each against Zimbabwe. However, Ireland have not won any of their last five ODIs against Bangladesh and will find it tough to stand a chance in the opening game on Saturday.

Player Picks

9
C

Shakib Al Hasan BAN | ALL

The no.1 ODI all-rounder was exceptional against England in the recent ODIs as he scored 141 runs and took six wickets from three matches.

8.5
C

Tamim Iqbal BAN | BAT

The veteran Bangladeshi skipper struggled for the big knocks against England but remains a key batter for his team with 8143 runs from 234 ODIs with 14 centuries and 55 fifties.

8.5
C

Harry Tector IRE | BAT

The young Irish batter smashed a century and fifty against Zimbabwe in the recent ODIs. He top-scored with 176 runs from two innings at a strike rate of 103.52.

8.5

Litton Das BAN | WK

The top-order Bangladesh ended his poor run of form in international cricket as he smashed 73 off 57 in his last innings against England. He was the leading run-getter for Bangladesh across formats last year and should be in your Dream11 Team at any cost.

9

Andy Balbirnie IRE | BAT

Irish captain smashed an unbeaten hundred in his last innings against Zimbabwe and was in good form in BPL 2023 last month.

8

Nazmul Hossain Shanto BAN | BAT

The in-form middle-order batter scored fifty in the last ODI against England and has scored 197 runs from his last four overall innings.

8

Mehidy Hasan Miraz BAN | ALL

The experienced spin all-rounder was excellent against England with five wickets from three ODIs and then took five more wickets in three T20Is to continue his red-hot form with a ball.

8.5

Taskin Ahmed BAN | BOWL

The 27-year-old speedster took four wickets against England in the T20Is after taking four wickets from two ODIs at an economy rate of 4.84.

7.5

Mark Adair IRE | BOWL

With Joshua Little missing this series, Adair will be under pressure to lead the pace attack for the Irish team. He took five wickets from just three innings against Zimbabwe in the last series and costs only 7.5 credits on the Dream11 Team.

9

Curtis Campher

IRE | ALL

The pace all-rounder has struggled for consistency across formats lately. Campher failed to get any wickets against Zimbabwe despite bowling in all three ODIs and scored only 10 runs from two innings.

7.5

Afif Hossain

BAN | BAT

The young Bangladeshi batter is going through a tough patch with a bat. Afif scored just 47 runs from three innings in the recent ODIs against England and will be under pressure to perform.
