TOSS - Ireland have won the toss and ELECTED TO FIELD!

A ton from Najmul Hossain Shanto overshadowed a ton from Harry Tector to help Bangladesh take a 1-0 unassailable lead in this ODI series. This is now the last game and Bangladesh will want to deal the series with a win. Ireland on the other hand, need a win if they are level it. Can they do so or will they go down to the side from Asia yet again?
