IRE thrash BAN by 39 runs in the 1st T20I at Chattogram
Harry Tector's 69 runs powered IRE to 181 in 1st innings
Matthew Humphreys broke the back of BAN's run chase with 4 wicket
Welcome to our highlights of the 1st of the 3-match T20I series between New Zealand and England at the Bir Sreshtho Flight Lieutenant Matiur Rahman Stadium in Chattogram on November 27, 2025.
Ireland pipped the home team by 39 runs in the 1st T20I to lead the three-match series by 1-0. After a disastrous show in the test series, IRE looked keen to come back in the white ball leg of the series, which was reflected in their game.
BAN won the toss and invited IRE to bat first. Irish batters looked very good at the crease and almost every batter got a start; however, the star of the show with the bat was Harry Tector, who played a scintillating knock of 69 runs, steering Ireland's 1st innings score to 181.
Bangladesh never looked in the game as Mark Adair gave some early blows to BAN with two wickets, which was then taken ahead by Humphreys, who ripped through BAN's middle order with 4 wickets. Towhid Hridoy proved to be the only shining light for BAN, who played a fighting knock of 89 runs but to no avail.
