ICC World Cup Cricket Match 2007
Ireland vs Bangladesh
Super 8, Match 18, BAN vs IRL: Ireland beat Bangladesh by 74 runs
Apr 15, 2007
Ireland ended Bangladesh`s slim hopes of reaching the World Cup semi-finals with a 74-run victory in a Super Eights match on Sunday.
Sloppy fielding from Bangladesh allowed Ireland to reach 243 for seven and the debutants then recorded their first second-round win at the tournament after bowling out the Asian test side for 169.
Reported EarlierAndrew White was the fourth run out casualty as Ireland reached 243 for the loss of 7 wickets in their Super Eight game against Bangladesh. Habibul Bashar was a worried man as chasing 243 wont be an easy task for the Asian giant beaters.
Bangladesh should chase the target if they dont want to face an outster before their match against the hosts West Indies. William Porterfield was the top scorer with 85 runs.

Kevin Obrien was run out as he tried to steal runs owing to sloppy fielding by Bangladesh throughout the match. Even after some poor fielding, Bangladesh managed to run out 3 Irish batsmen. Kevin Obrien made a quickfire 48 off just 44 balls. Andrew White had joined skipper Johnston as Ireland looked well poised to touch the 250 mark.
Reported EarlierIreland skipper Trent Johnston won the toss and elected to bat first. Ireland would be keen in putting up a good total on the board and create another upset against `overachievers` Bangladesh.
World Cup debutant Ireland hopes it will recover from its mauling by defending champion Australia to beat overachiever Bangladesh in Sunday`s meeting when little more than pride is at stake.

Super 8, Match 18, BAN vs IRL: Ireland see spin threat in Bangladesh
Apr 15, 2007
Ireland will be looking for their first Super Eight points as they take on Bangladesh in Barbados on Sunday.
Bangladesh, who have stunned India and South Africa in this World Cup have been inconsistent with their batting and Ireland would be aiming to exploit that chink in their rivals.
Ireland's confidence took a knock when the ruthless Australians bowled them out for 91 on Friday.
But Bangladesh do not posses anyone with the speed of Shaun Tait, or the nagging accuracy of Glenn McGrath and Stuart Clark.
However, the Irish batting will be challenged by Bangladeshs left-arm spin trio of - Mohammad Rafique, Abdur Razzak and Saqibul Hasan - who had combined figures of 4-82 from 26 overs in their last game against England.
Bangladesh team (from): Habibul Bashar (captain), Shahriar Nafees, Tamim Iqbal, Aftab Ahmed, Saqibul Hasan, Mohammad Ashraful, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mohammad Rafique, Abdur Razzak, Mashrafe Mortaza, Syed Rasel, Shahadat Hossain, Farhad Reza, Javed Omar, Rajin Saleh.
Ireland team (from): T Johnston (captain), J Bray, W Porterfield, E Morgan, N O'Brien, K O'Brien, A White, J Mooney, K McCallan, D Langford-Smith, B Rankin, A Botha, P Mooney, K Carroll, P Gillespie.
