It also hasn’t won a home test since beating Zimbabwe in 2020. It would have happened to Bangladesh in the early 2000s.” “We cannot take Ireland lightly,” he said. This is a big cricketing nation, playing against a top team. If you can score 350-400 runs in 100 overs, it will be good for you and your team.” BAN vs IRE preview: Bangladesh is eager to continue playing an attacking brand of cricket against inexperienced Ireland when their their one-off test match starts Tuesday.
