Ireland-Bangladesh game abandoned

The Tri-Nations one-day international between hosts Ireland and Bangladesh at The Village in Malahide was washed out with no play possible yesterday.

Ireland were aiming to bounce back from Sunday’s heavy defeat by the West Indies, who lost to Bangladesh two days later.

The weather is expected to be better for Saturday’s Tri-Nations game, with the hosts taking on the Windies again.

Ireland were narrowly beaten by England last Friday but they were undone by a record opening stand of 365 between West Indies pair of John Campbell and Shai Hope. 

Campbell and Hope, who fell just five runs short of the record ODI stand, helped the tourists to a thumping 196-run victory. (BBC)
