Bangladesh win by 84 runs. Ireland started well and were scoring at 4 runs per over till the 10th over, after that they lost wickets at regular intervals, they were pegged back and they could not get any decent partnership going, except for 52 runs partnership between Botha and Cusack but they could not go on. For Bangladesh, it was an easy match, Farhad Reza picking five wickets for 42 runs (Man-of-the-Match) and he was well supported by all the bowlers, they bowled a tight line and were in total control of the match. Bangladesh win the series and they lead by 2-0.
