Ireland Playing XI vs Bangladesh- 3rd T20I, Ireland Tour of Bangladesh 2025:

Openers: Paul Stirling (c), Tim Tector

Ireland would aim to make a strong comeback in the final game of the three-match series against Bangladesh after losing the previous fixture in the last over.

The management of the Irish team would hope for a more proactive effort with the bat, especially from the middle order, which underwent a mini-collapse in the second T20I after the openers got the team off to a good start by adding 57 runs in 4.4 overs.

Stirling and Tector would once again be banked upon to put on a similar performance to increase Ireland's chances of winning the series decider

In addition to scoring runs in partnership, both batters would look to score runs individually as well.

Middle-order batsmen and all-rounders: Harry Tector, Lorcan Tucker (wk), Benjamin Calitz, George Dockrell, Gareth Delany

As mentioned above, one of the reasons why Ireland could only post 170 runs on the board despite getting off to an aggressive start was the performance, or the lack of it, from the middle order batters at the backend of the innings

The likes of Benjamin Calitz, George Dockrell, and Gareth Delany found it difficult to hit boundaries courtesy of some intelligent bowling from the Bangladeshi bowlers

The captain and the coach would hope for a better effort from the middle order batters in the last outing on Ireland's tour of Bangladesh, both while batting and while chasing, so as for the team to stand a chance of winning the game and the series

If the Irish batting lineup can play to its full potential, it can cross the 200-run mark consistently, and that is what the Paul Stirling-led side would look to do in the next game.

Bowlers: Mark Adair, Barry McCarthy, Matthew Humphreys, Josh Little

Like Ireland's batting, the team's bowling also went downhill after a good start by picking up early wickets in the chase.

The Irish bowling attack failed to capitalise on the good start as Bangladesh kept on building a partnership and got close to the finish line.

Having said that, the visitors did strike at regular intervals at the backend of the innings and gave a scare to the home side, but it was a little too late to influence the writing on the wall.

The only shining light in a rather disappointing performance with the ball was Mark Adair, who picked up the wicket of Litton Das to give Ireland a bit of hope, and was well supported by Gareth Delany, who also picked up a couple of wickets.

Irish captain Paul Stirling would hope for the bowlers to make a strong comeback and bet back into wicket-taking form for the team to have a realistic chance of winning the last game of the tour.
