The momentum sustained as Bangladesh clashed with Ireland, securing a 2-1 series victory. Batting powerhouses Litton Das and Rony Talukdar shone brightly, complemented by the all-round brilliance of Shakib Al Hasan. Although denied a clean sweep in the final match, the Tigers exhibited resilience in the face of adversity.

 

Afghan Challenge Conquered:

 

Facing the challenge of Afghanistan on away turf, Bangladesh exhibited adaptability and determination. Thrilling victories in both matches, fueled by Towhid Hridoy's unbeaten knock and Taskin Ahmed's exceptional bowling, showcased the team's mettle and readiness for any battlefield.

 

Sharing Spoils in New Zealand:

 

The first away T20I series of the year saw Bangladesh drawing 1-1 against New Zealand. Litton Das's anchoring innings powered a comfortable win in the first match, while rain played spoilsport, canceling the second encounter.
