Ireland and Bangladesh washed out after 31.1 overs

Rain wiped out any chance of a result in Ireland’s first tri-series one-day international against Bangladesh in Dublin.

There was time only for 31.1 overs in which Bangladesh opener Tamim Iqbal was leading a recovery to 157 for four after the tourists stuttered at one stage to nine for two.

Ireland seamer Peter Chase finished with a career-best three for 33 from his six overs, having also taken three wickets against England in Ireland’s defeat at Bristol last week.

Tamim (64no) stood firm, however, reaching a hard-working half-century in 76 balls and going on to share an unbroken stand of 87 with Mahmudullah before the bad weather swept over Malahide and refused to relent.
