Bangladesh vs Ireland, 2nd T20I - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

So the series is level 1-1. Sets it up nicely for the decider on December 2nd. We will be there for that game. For now, that's it. We will be back with more action soon. Do join us then. For now it's bye bye.

Litton Das | Bangladesh skipper and Player of the Match: I am getting better (talking about the injured right hand). It was a fantastic game, as a player you want to be part of games like these, they (Ireland) also played excellent cricket. Whenever we are under pressure, our bowlers came back well. Special mention to Saifuddin, it is not easy to bowl at the death, he is playing after quite some time. Although he went for some runs in the first over, he came back well in the death overs, also with the bat. Easier to bat when the ball is new and it is not as easy with the old ball, I wanted to take responsibility and bat at the top.

Paul Stirling | Ireland captain: Yeah, look, it seems to be the way that the game goes in Chittagong. It's quite quick and early on it's easier to bat than you thought. And then it sort of gets harder as the game progresses. And that happened in both innings today. I think the difference in the game was probably maybe our last 4 or 5 overs with the bat. Where they bowled brilliantly, I would say it's more credit to them than anything against us. 100%. We needed to pick up wickets at crucial stages and we've managed to do that. We got two new batters in a couple of times and that was our chance to strike and we just didn't quite get there in the end.

Bangladesh have learnt their lessons. They started off on a positive note by taking on Ireland's best bowler from the previous game - Matthew Humphreys - hitting the left-arm spinner for a six and four in the opening over. Picked up a boundary off every single powerplay over and knocked off 66 in the first six. Just like their opponents, Ireland pulled things back after the 6th over, claiming the wicket of Parvez Hossain and conceding 20 off 4 overs while at it. Post the departure of Parvez, skipper Litton Das assumed the role of aggressor and notched up a 34-ball fifty, bringing the equation down to just 33 off the last 5 overs. Both Litton and Saif Hassan got out in the space of 4 balls, which allowed the visitors to string a few dots and create a bit of nervous energy, but Saifuddin kept his cool and struck vital boundaries to seal the deal.

22:02 Local Time, 16:02 GMT, 21:32 IST: Bangladesh coach Phil Simmons is more relieved than anything else. Litton Das comes out to shake hands with the players with just his left hand, he is protecting his right hand. Clearly not feeling well with his right hand. It got a lot closer than Bangladesh wanted but they have managed to level the series.

Hello, hello! Joshua Little tries to run Saifuddin out at the non-strikers. But Saifuddin with a smile points a finger at the bowler as if to say you can't do that, who is also all smiles. Smiles in the Bangladesh dugout too. To be fair to Saifuddin, he was looking at Little and was inside. A gentle warning that. Clearly Little looked for the run-out there.

It is McCarthy wiping the ball with a rag and also setting the field. The off-side field is up.

Another discussion between Joshua Little and McCarthy. The field remains the same.

Mahedi Hasan and Saifuddin have a chat. Will Ireland bring the field up. McCarthy has a chat to Joshua Little. Third man coming up.

That six and four from Saifuddin has given Bangladesh all the momentum. Just 3 needed now.

Umps have a word with Stirling. About the over-rate.

Mark Adair round the wicket.
