toss bangladesh chose to bowl vs ireland
Bangladesh captain Liton Das won the toss and elected to bowl first against Ireland in the first T20 match in Chattogram.
Apart from captain Paul Stirling, the visiting team’s Tector brothers – Tim and Harry – complete the top three. They have a four-man bowling attack led by Mark Adair and Josh Little.
The hosts chose a top four without Mahidul Islam, who was brought in for the same purpose, although Liton criticized the selectors for leaving out Shamim Hossain. Bangladesh is playing with five bowlers and Tanzim Hasan can bat at number seven.
Bangladesh: 1 Tanzeed Hasan, 2 Pervez Hossain Emon, 3 Saif Hasan, 4 Liton Das (captain, wk), 5 Tauheed Hridoy, 6 Jakar Ali, 7 Tanzeem Hasan Shakib, 8 Rishad Hossain, 9 Nasum Ahmed, 10 Mustafizur Rahman, 11 Shoriful Islam
Ireland: 1 Paul Stirling (capt), 2 Tim Tector, 3 Harry Tector, 4 Lorcan Tucker (wk), 5 Curtis Campher, 6 George Dockrell, 7 Gareth Delany, 8 Mark Adair, 9 Barry McCarthy, 10 Matthew Humphreys, 11 Josh Little
