It seemed as though Imrul Kayes and Tamim Iqbal had swapped bats in the last match. Tamim, usually the ever-ready biffer, poked and struggled in the beginning while Kayes took the attack to the bowlers. Kayes could not last too long, while Tamim took a useful lesson in biding one's time to build an innings. No surprises in how he and Captain Shakib Al Hasan were the two stalwarts taking up the batting challenge. While Junaid Siddique was a mix of being loyal to the crease and keeping an eye upon the target, Mohammad Ashraful's experience was sorely missed in the middle order. However, as his form has given him a paltry 62 runs over the last two seasons, he is not likely to be brought back.If, on Saturday, the batsmen had not risen to save Bangladesh's blushes, the insipid bowling performance earlier would have appeared magnified and demoralized the team further. When you see that Shakib, having gone at 6.10 runs per over and picked up one wicket, was one of the more economical bowlers, you get a sense of how innocuous the rest of the unit was.

Ireland opener William Porterfield has been in sublime touch over the warm-ups played over the last couple of weeks, scoring two fifties. Ed Joyce, who played for England four years ago, has injected his professionalism into the no. 3 spot, and has been scoring freely over the last four games, with two 40s and a 50. All-rounder Andrew White, who has not been thrown the ball of late, has been giving handy contributions with the bat. Andre Botha was impressive against Zimbabwe, amongst the wickets as well as a scoring steadily.

Boyd Rankin, almost a secret weapon for the kind of wraps he has been put under over the past few games, will supply the pace otherwise lacking in the medium-pace-heavy Irish attack. Kevin O' Brien can handle the new ball and is known to provide the breakthroughs. Trent Johnston and Alex Cusack have been steady, bowling nagging deliveries, and could trouble a Tamim, who would like the ball to come on to the bat. George Dockrell, Somerset's pick for a slow left-armer, will provide for the Irish what Shakib and Abdur Razzak do for their team.
