After levelling the three-match series with a victory in the second , Bangladesh will look to seal the series when they host Ireland in the final match of the three-match T20I series. This match is scheduled to be played at Bir Sreshtho Flight Lieutenant Matiur Rahman Stadium on Tuesday, December 2. 

 

Bangladesh

 

After a shocking defeat against Ireland in the opening match, Bangladesh finally broke their four-match winless streak with a 4-wicket morale-boosting victory in the second match. While chasing a challenging total of 171 runs, Bangladesh, with the help of Litton Das's half-century, sealed a comfortable victory. Earlier, Mehedi Hasan took three wickets for just 25 runs in his bowling spell, delivering for his team at the crucial moment. Amid a crisis in the T20I format, this will provide a sigh of relief to the Bangla Tigers.

 

Ireland

 

Ireland must have gone into the second game with confidence, but it didn't work, suffering a close defeat. However, they are performing better with their batting, crossing 160+ total twice in the first two games--this is a positive sign for the entire team ahead of the 2026 T20 World Cup. With the series levelled at 1-1, they will be eyeing to seal it with a victory in the final game.
