BAN vs IRE 2nd ODI Results

2:56 PM IST Right then, that is it from this game. We could not get the second innings going and the match was called off due to rain. Bangladesh still lead 1-0 in this three-match ODI series, but will need to do all the work again in the next game to win the series while Ireland will try to put on a better performance and make it 1-1. The 3rd ODI will be played on 23rd March, Thursday at 2 pm IST (8.30 am GMT), but as you know you can join us early for the build-up. Cheers!

2:42 PM IST Sad news folks! The inevtiable has happened and this match is abandoned due to rain. The rain gods showed no mercy here and the covers did not have a chance to be taken off for once. Bangladesh will be disappointed with ths as they were in a great position to win this game and seal the series. They broke their own record of the highest ODI total for them which they literally created in the previous game. Mushfiqur Rahim also became the fastest Bangladeshi player to score an ODI hundred, but he will not be able to call it a match-winning innings. Ireland, on the other hand will feel like that rain was their saviour here as chasing 350 here would have been a really tough ask for them. They now have a chance to work on their mistakes and come back stronger in the 3rd ODI and try to finish the series on level terms.

2:18 PM IST Update - The rain has slowed down a bit, but the covers are still on. The cut-off time for a 20-over game is 9.03 pm IST (3.33 pm GMT), but the groundstaff will need to work hard to get the outfield ready in time. Let's hope for the best.

1:30 PM IST Update - 7 pm IST (1.30 pm GMT) - Nothing new to tell about. The rain is still falling down and the chances of starting this chase looks slim let alone having a full game. However, as you wait, you can switch tabs to catch our coverage of the Women's T20 League.

12:30 PM IST Update - 6 pm IST (12.30 pm GMT) - Bad news folks! The run chase has been delayed for now as it is raining pretty heavily at the moment. The covers are on as well and we have to play the waiting game. Stay tuned for further updates.
