Drinks break! Bangladesh are cruising to win this decider match of the series. They need 39 runs off the last 10 overs. The two openers of the Bangla Tigers stepped on the field with a positive intent to make a profit out of the Powerplay. Yes, they lost two wickets, but the damage was already done. However, the match is not finished yet. A couple of breakthroughs might just give some hope to the Irish bowlers, but right now, Bangladesh holds a strong grip on the match. 
0
And that's a wrap! Bangladesh have emerged victorious, clinching the series 2-1. Litton Das is now making his way to collect the trophy, joining his teammates for a well-deserved photo session. That's all from us for this series. We hope you enjoyed our coverage and analysis. For more cricketing action from around the world, like the New Zealand and West Indies Test series, India versus South Africa ODI series, or the ILT20 2025-26, which is starting today in a short while, feel free to switch tabs and stay tuned. Thank you for watching, and cheers!
