IN THE ICC Cricket World Cup 2011, co-hosts Bangladesh will take on Ireland in the ninth match of the event at Sher-e-Bangla Cricket Stadium in Dhaka. Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan won the toss and elected to bat first, while keeping in mind the dew factor.
Bangladesh, who is playing their second match in the ICC World Cup 2011, has made one change in playing XI from the first match against India. All-rounder Mahmudullah was replaced by middle order batsman Mohammad Ashraful so as to make their batting attack stronger.
In the inaugural match of the Cricket World Cup on February 19 against India, Bangladesh lost by 87 runs. However, Bangladeshi players resisted Indian bowling attack and scored 283 runs for the lost of nine wickets in 50 overs.
Ireland starts their Cricket World Cup 2011 campaign with this match. Prior to the ICC World Cup, Ireland lost one match against New Zealand and won one against Zimbabwe in the warm-up matches.
Bangladesh and Ireland have played six ODIs against one another, where Bangladesh won four matches and Ireland two. In the 2007 World Cup in West Indies, Ireland had defeated Bangladesh by 74 runs in the Super Eights stage.
