He closes by saying that they would like to win and close the series on a high.

PITCH REPORT - Atar Ali Khan is pitchside. He says that the surface is the same one as the second game and Bangladesh put up a big total and there isn't much difference in the surface for this game as well. Adds that the sun is out but it has been wet in the last couple of days and there are dark patches on the deck and reckons the first 10 overs will be crucial.

Ireland (Unchanged Playing XI) - Paul Stirling, Stephen Doheny, Andy Balbirnie (C), Harry Tector, Curtis Campher, Lorcan Tucker (WK), George Dockrell, Andy McBrine, Mark Adair, Graham Hume, and Matthew Humphreys,

Bangladesh (Playing XI) - Tamim Iqbal (C), Litton Das, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Mushfiqur Rahim (WK), Shakib Al Hasan, Towhid Hridoy, Mehidy Hasan (in place of Yasir Ali), Taskin Ahmed, Hasan Mahmud, Ebadot Hossain, and Nasum Ahmed.

TOSS - Ireland have won the toss and they will BAT first.

Ireland on the other hand have been below par in their performances as the bowling has not clicked at all. The inability of spinners to take wickets has led the visitors down as the hosts have scored well in excess of 300 in both games. The spinners need to step up if Ireland are to level the series here along with the batting as well. Can the Irish spoil the party for Bangladesh just like rain did last time around? Or will the hosts overcome the overcast conditions and the visitors to take the series 2-0? We shall find out. Toss and team news in a bit.

Bangladesh have been sensational throughout the series and have been in their best batting form ever. Litton Das came in form in the last game and scored crucial runs along with the youngster in the team Towhid Hridoy who did really well. It is Mushfiqur Rahim that has impressed a lot with his new style of play in the recent games where he has unleashed his aggressive side. They might have won the series in the last game after posting 349 runs but the rain Gods spoiled the party for them. Nevertheless, they will look to finish the job in this game.

Hello and a very warm welcome to everyone tuning in. We are all set for the third and final ODI between Bangladesh and Ireland. Sylhet will host this final ODI. The hosts have a 1-0 lead with one game being washed out and that means they cannot lose the series. On the other hand, it is a good chance for Ireland to level the series against a strong opposition. Let's see who comes out on top in the battle of the giant killers.
