That was a clinic from Bangladesh. For Ireland, there wasn't much to ride home about. But as a candid Paul Stirling said at the end of the game, they will look to bounce back on Friday. Join us then to find out if they can or if the hosts can complete a clean sweep. For now, it's goodbye from me Ekanth, my co-commentator, Shamya Dasgupta, and our scorer, Ranjith P.
Afik: "Cricinfo's MVP TI scores show Ben White outscoring Shakib Al Hasan. How does that work?" Not sure, what's definite is that it's counter-intuitive.
Shakib Al Hasan, Bangladesh Captain and POTM: (On being highest T20I wicket taker) It feels good obviously. It was important to show up today and that's what we did. We've discussed our aggressive approach and need to do it to be an aggressive, competitive side. Luckily it's coming off. When I batted and Tector was bowling, ball spun and gripped. I thought there was something on the wicket and thought of playing spinners. If we go to Australia or England and they are 2-0 down, they will look to go 3-0. We will not be complacent, maybe try new guys but they will be just as hungry to score runs or get wickets.
Paul Stirling, Ireland Captain: That was tricky no doubt. Few of the same errors from the last 2 weeks. We'll have a think tomorrow and hopefully do better on Friday. (On being asked if Tector's approach could have been tempered) You have to take it every game as it comes, wouldn't have been great had we been batting for ourselves. Think it's been a balance of them being a strong team. Didn't think it was gonna be as one-sided as it has been. We don't feel there are any dead rubbers. So look forward to playing on Friday.
Rafail Ahamed S: "I'm intrigued to watch Bangladesh play against big teams in aways conditions. Bowling, batting and fielding! All the departments looks strong enough to improve their away records. "
Steven Cooper: "Ireland have at least managed to hit more 6's than Bangladesh! Fully old game..."
Zabed: ""Premium bangladesh! Really matured play by tigers. Everyone showing their class.""
6:28pm: Comfy, cozy, dominant win seals the series for Bangladesh on Shakib's day. Their rebranding is doing wonders and Ireland's tour continues to slump. Rain hit Chattogram after the toss and the game was delayed for a while, but a 17-over game was possible. Litton and Talukdar were brilliant with the bat before Shakib and Hridoy continued the dominance. With the ball, Shakib was on fire, Taskin was brilliant. Ireland's batters went all-out attack but the tactic fell flat on the face. In the end, a massive 77-run win.
