Balbirnie won the toss and opted to bat first. First time in Bangladesh, they offer a flat deck. Ireland lacks experience in test matches. They didn’t take advantage of that track.

Ireland got out on duck by Hasan Mahmud. Stirling and Cade Carmichael showed some intent.

Stirling scored 60 runs, and Cade scored 59 runs. Harry Tector got out on 1 run. Curtis scored 44 runs, and wicket-keeper batsman Lorcan Tucker scored 41 runs. In the end, Jordan and Barry contributed in the end. Ireland posted a 286 score in the first innings. Miraz took 3 wickets, Hasan, Islam, and Hasan Murad took 2 wickets each. Nahid Rana picked up 1 wicket.

Bangladesh dominated the game from the start. Mahmudul Hasan Joy scored 171 runs, and his opening partner Shadman Islam scored 80 runs. Mominul scored 82 runs. Captain Shanto scored a century. Litton Das scored 60 runs. Every batter contributed to the score. Bangladesh declared the innings on 587 runs.

It is a difficult task for Ireland to break the lead and set a target. Stirling once again scored some runs and got run out on 43 runs. Andy McBrine scored a fifty. Balbirnie came down the order in the second innings and scored 38 runs. Jordan and Barry once again contributed in the end, but that is not enough to even break the lead, and Bangladesh won by innings and 47 runs.
