Bangladesh win by 217

Bangladesh - 476 all out & 297-4d

(Litton Das 128 Mushfiqur Rahim 106; Andy McBrine 6-109)

(Mominul Haque 87 Shadman Islam 78; Gavin Hoey 2-84)

Ireland - 265 and 291 all out

(Lorcan Tucker 75* Jordan Neill 49; Taijul Islam 4-76)

(Curtis Campher 71* Harry Tector 50; Taijul Islam 4-104)

Defeated but not destroyed, Ireland showed enough fight to make Bangladesh work hard for the result. The hosts eventually wrapped up a 217-run win in the second Test and secured a 2–0 series victory in Dhaka, but not before breaking the stubborn resistance anchored by Curtis Campher on Day 5.

The final day began with Andy McBrine falling early in the first session, however, Campher and Jordan Neill 30 put up a great effort to take the game into the second session. Gavin Hoey made a patient 37 from 107 balls as Ireland doggedly prolonged their innings.

The hero of the innings was Campher, battling for 259 balls, made a brilliant 71* batting with the tail and remaining unbeaten on Day 5 Dhaka track. With his innings, he broke the Test record for the most balls faced by an Irish player in a single innings. A valiant innings to take the game into the second session on final day.

However, Campher's efforts in the end were not enough as the Bangladesh bowlers picked the four remaining wickets with Taijul Islam ending on 4-76 as Ireland were dismissed for 291.

Plenty of positives for Ireland to reflect upon from this Test series with McBrine and Matthew Humphreys picking up five-fers, joined by the solid batting displayed by Paul Stirling who scored 139 runs.

Neill showed consistency with his batting across all four innings scoring 30 runs or more, the debutant was the top scorer for Ireland in the series with 145 runs, and had the most boundaries out of any batter with 24 fours. 

Ireland got to debut five players and allow them to gain invaluable experience in sub-continental conditions. Should the World Test Championship indeed move to a 12-team system, providing Ireland with regular opportunities to play Test cricket and progress its red-ball cricket journey.

The two nations will now face off against each other in a three-match T20I series set to begin on Thursday, 27 November.
