As a Bangladeshi watching today's match, I have to say that after beating Ireland in the first two matches in Bangladesh, they took the third and final T20 match very easily and they did not take the Ireland team very seriously. Due to which Bangladeshi batsmen did not perform well except Shamim Hossain while batting today. If the batsmen of Bangladesh could have taken the Ireland team seriously and batted up to 20 overs, the result of today's match might have been different.
Liton Kumar Das and Rony Talukder both batted close to 200 strike rate in 2nd T20 but in today's match they performed badly especially Liton Kumar Das, Shakib and Hriday both performed badly as Bangladesh lost today's match.

Congratulations to Ireland for beating Bangladesh by seven wickets in the third and final t20 match against Bangladesh.  Paul Stirling once again proved how great a batsman he is in T20 cricket. His biggest contribution behind the victory in today's match against Bangladesh. As he kept the wicket on one side, he regularly tried to reach the target with four sixes.  This batsman played a great innings of 77 runs in just 41 balls. He hit ten fours and four sixes in this innings of 77 runs.

When Ireland picked up four wickets in the power bowl against Bangladesh, the match turned in their favor.  But in the end, Shamim Patwari's innings of 51 off 42 balls helped Bangladesh post a respectable score. Irish batsman Paul Stirling was selected as man of the match and Taskin Ahmed was selected as man of the series.

Thought this was home ground for Gujjus but all I'm seeing is Yellow army ( 50-50 may be)  .

Every time I see Ruturaj Gaikwad batting in the IPL. I wonder how come he doesn't get a long rope in the Indian setup. Poor guy is way below in pecking order and only comes in when a handful of Indian openers get injured.

Bhojpuri commentary turning out to be epic fun.

Dubey ji ruining friday night.

The super fit 41 years MS Dohni has taken over command of CSK once again and they have given a target of 178 runs to GT. A dream start of IPL for Ruturaj Dashrat Gaikwad as he scored 92 on just 50 balls. He was unlucky to miss the century by just 8 runs. Seeing the bowling lineup of GT, i think they will suffer in this tournament since they don't have a quality bowling lineup. I see Mohammed Shami and Rashid as the only recognized bowler in there lineup.

We are here for the next two months full of IPL craze. It will be an interesting time to see all the big players competing in the biggest T20 league tournament. Also I hope everyone enjoyed the opening ceremony of this year's IPL.

Gujarat Titans look strong in this match and they need now 90 runs in 66 balls that is 11 overs. The target may seem a bit high but GT has lost only one wicket. Gill And Sudharsan , both playing good for Gujrat and they can easily take their team to the first win in the first match of this IPL.

Wao so after immense criticism and bad performance fi ally Ireland managed to put pressure on Bangladesh,  they have defeated them pretty good by 7 wickets.
Today Bangladesh batting lineup collapsed and no player scored any good runs credit goes to Ireland ballers.
Congratulations to Ireland in winning this one .

Match is totally in hands of gujrat titans , despite of big target by chennai super kings of 178 GT chasing it pretty gracefully.
Required run rate is 8 something which is not a big deal specially when Shubman Gill Is on crease and Is totally in his momentum.

Insane crowd numbers in the first match of IPL 2023. Gujarat are playing really well even without Miller at the moment. CSK need to remove Tewatia and Khan asap if they wish to somehow win this one.

Shankar is actually playing well for a change. CSK's new bowlers are performing decently considering that this is their first match.

The stadium in Ahmedabad was full of crowd during first match of IPL, so we cant say there is no hype of IPL 2023. There are less posts about IPL here but they will definitely increase with the progress of tournament. Good thing is viewers in Pakistan can see IPL on Facebook for free. I saw the match on Facebook, this facility was not available last year.

Can someone confirm this news that every ball in IPL is worth 50 lac Indian rupee (I heard this news on an Indian channel)? This is insane amount of money.
