OUT! CAUGHT! Excellent take in the deep and it needed something special from the hosts to break this stand. Tanzim Hasan Sakib bangs it in short and right at the batter. This one comes in at an awkward height and Paul Stirling ends up pulling it flat towards deep square leg. Saif Hassan over there comes in but the ball starts to dip on him. But he does well to lunge forward and pouches it just off the surface. It is sent upstairs to be cheked and the third umpire confirms that Saif had his fingers under the ball. Stirling has to depart for a quickfire 29l.

Back of a length and over middle, Tim Tector stays back and taps it away wide of mid-wicket for a single.

SIX! Oh, wow, what a shot that is! Fractionally short over off, Tim Tector keeps his head down and goes from down to up as he whacks the ball high and over deep mid-wicket for a biggie.

Pitches the ball full on middle, Tim Tector heaves it away over mid-wicket but without much timing and picks up a couple of runs. 50 up for Ireland in double-quick time.

FOUR! Ends the over just the way he started it - with a poor delivery. A low full toss on leg stump, this one drifts down leg and Paul Stirling simply tickles it down to fine leg for another boundary.

Short ball over off and middle, Tim Tector looks to pull but the comes slower off the deck and the shot is miscued towards square leg for a single.

Going down leg! Goes for the yorker but ends up serving a full toss that angles into the pads. Tector looks to pick it up over square leg but is beaten and the ball smashes into the front pad.

Follows the batter this time with a slower ball. Stirling taps it between mid on and mid-wicket and picks up an easy single.

FOUR! Down the wrong line now. Very full and angling down leg, Stirling manages to flick it fine and the ball beats the keeper, rolling away into the fine leg fence.

SIX! That's a loose start from Mohammad Saifuddin. Banged in short around off with no real pace or intent behind it. Paul Stirling swivels onto the back foot and pulls it flat over deep mid-wicket for a six.

A fourth leg bye in the over! Bowls it a bit fuller and straighter, the ball nips back in and beats Paul Stirling completely before crashing into the pads. There's an appeal for LBW but it is turned down and that seemed to be missing leg stump.

Hard length again, in and around off, sharp movement off the deck again. Tector looks to coe forward and play it leg side but misses and the ball thuds into the pads, rolling to backward point. Another le bye.

Hard length in the channel, Tim Tector stays still and looks to tee off over mid-wicket but the ball stays a tad low and beats the bat.

Good length, this time straighter and angled into the pads. Stirling fails to flick it away and the ball goes off the pads behind square leg. Just a leg bye then.

Oh, that did so much off the deck! Full of a good length and around off, the ball nips back in a mile and Stirling is caught off guard. The ball clips the back thigh pad and goes through to the keeper. There's a stifled appeal but nothing more.

Wide! A quick bumper, banging it in over leg stump. This one just angles down leg and Stirling misses the pull. Wide called.

We are all set after the slight delay! The problem has been resolved and Paul Stirling and Tim Tector are marching toward the center of the park to continue their inning. Tanzim Hasan Sakib to continue his spell.

Halt! There are some issues with the floodlights of the stadium. Well, as per our visuals, the players are slowly walking to their dugouts and the crowd have turned their mobile's flashlight on to create a lovely moment. So two out of the four floodlights have completely turned off and the management team is looking into the matter. Stick around for further updates!

Too high! On a good length and on off, nips back in off the deck. Tim Tector plays all around it and gets hit on the back pad. There is a stifled appeal but it is turned down and the batters pick up a leg bye as the ball rolls towards backward point.

SIX! Up, up and away! Floated delivery on off stump, Paul Stirling gets leg side of the ball, crouches down and lofts it nonchalantly over deep cover for a biggie. Ireland are 27/0 after 2 overs!

On a length and outside off, nudged down towards short third.

Sees the batter backing away and slows it up, bowling it straight. Tim pats it down to long off for a single.

Nicely played but good fielding in the deep as well. Quicker one around off, Stirling hangs back, gets low and runs it off the face of the blade down to deep third. Nurul Hasan, standing at short third, gives chase and puts in a late dive to save the boundary. Three taken.

FOUR! Swept and swept nicely. Tossed up on off and middle, Paul Stirling sits down and lunges across to get inside the line, angling the sweep over square leg for a boundary.

Who will bowl from the other end? Nasum Ahmed it is!

Oh, nearly went straight back to the bowler! Fuller and drifted into the stumps, this one stops on the batter, Tim Tector backs away and chips it wide of the bowler and towards mid off.

Off the mark right away! Bowls it seam-up to begin with and gets the ball to move away from the right-hander. Paul Stirling hangs back and taps it wide of mid on for a single.

We are all set for the game to begin. The Irish openers are out in the middle and so are the layers of Bangladesh. Paul Stirling and Tim Tector have walked out to open for the visitors with Mahedi Hasan ready to bowl the first over of the contest.

PITCH REPORT - Ed Rainsford is pitchside. He says that the weather looks great for the second T20I and comments that the surface in the first T20I was good, particularly for batters. He mentions that Hridoy batted brilliantly, setting an example for the other batters on how to bat on this surface. He also praises Humphreys' bowling, noting that his quick pace, with 21 out of 28 balls clocked over 100 kph, was effective. Ed provides details about the pitch and ground dimensions for today's match, mentioning that it's pitch No. 4 with a good covering of grass. He describes the ground's layout and boundary lengths, concluding that a score of 180-200 would be par.

Litton Das, the captain of Bangladesh, says that every game is a challenge and they are looking forward to it. Adds that the bowlers just need to bowl in the right areas and reckons that the pitch looks like a good one. Informs that they have made three changes with the likes of Nurul Hasan, Mohammad Saifuddin and Mahedi Hasan coming in.

Ireland captain Paul Stirling has informed that they'll be batting first after winning the toss and will be looking to replicate their successful approach from the first T20I. Stirling acknowledged areas for improvement, particularly in catching, and is confident they'll work on those in this game. Ireland has made one change to their lineup, with Ben Calitz replacing Curtis Campher.

Bangladesh (Playing XI) - Tanzid Hasan, Parvez Hossain Emon, Litton Das (C/WK), Saif Hassan, Tawhid Hridoy, Nurul Hasan, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Mahedi Hasan (In for Jaker Ali), Mohammad Saifuddin (In for Shoriful Islam), Mustafizur Rahman, and Nasum Ahmed (In for Rishad Hossain).

Ireland (Playing XI) - Paul Stirling (C), Tim Tector, Harry Tector, Lorcan Tucker (WK), Ben Calitz (replaces Curtis Campher), George Dockrell, Gareth Delany, Mark Adair, Barry McCarthy, Matthew Humphreys, Josh Little.

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

Can Bangladesh break their losing streak and level the series, or will Ireland continue their winning run and take an unassailable lead? The contest promises to be intense, with both teams looking to gain the upper hand. Get ready for a cracking game of T20 cricket. Toss and team updates in a bit.

Bangladesh will need to significantly improve in both bowling and batting performances if they are to level the series. Their top order was decimated in the first T20I, and Tawhid Hridoy was left with no support from the other end. Their batting order will be looking to provide some stability. Ireland, meanwhile, will be hoping to continue their strong bowling performance, with Matthew Humphreys and Mark Adair leading the charge with the ball and Harry Tector with the bat.

Ireland, on the other hand, is riding high on confidence after their convincing win in the first T20I. Led by Harry Tector's unbeaten 69, Ireland's batters showed they can take on Bangladesh's bowling, posting a competitive 181. Their bowlers, particularly Matthew Humphreys, who took a four-fer and Mark Adair, who picked up a couple, were equally impressive, restricting Bangladesh to 142. The side will be keen to seal the fate of the series with a game to spare by winning again.

Hello and welcome to the fans tuning in. The second T20I of the contest between Bangladesh and Ireland is set to be a cracker after what we witnessed in the first game. The home team, Bangladesh, is looking to bounce back from a thumping 39-run defeat in the series opener. The Litton Das-led side has been extremely strong at home, but a 0-3 loss to West Indies and the recent hammering by Ireland have raised concerns. They'll be looking to regroup and come out strong in this crucial encounter. 

... MATCHDAY ...

The three-match T20I series between Bangladesh and Ireland has burst into life, with the visitors delivering a stunning performance in the opener to take an unexpected 1-0 lead. All eyes now turn to the second T20I at the Bir Sreshtho Flight Lieutenant Matiur Rahman Stadium in Chattogram, where Bangladesh will fight to level the series and Ireland will seek to create history with a series-clinching win. Ireland's victory in the first T20I was comprehensive, marking their first T20I win in 14 months and only their third ever against the Bangla Tigers. The home side is under immense pressure after a top-order capitulation. They have already secured the Test series, but a T20I series loss at home would be a significant blow, especially after their past success in this format against Ireland. Ireland enter the second T20I with massive confidence. They showcased an all-round performance that was clinical and highly disciplined, proving their potential in the shorter format. A win here would secure their first-ever T20I series victory against Bangladesh. Bangladesh are expected to bounce back, but Ireland's balanced attack and in-form batters pose a serious threat. This match will be a huge test of the home side's mental fortitude under pressure. Who are you backing for the win?
