Fifth day of the fifth Test will take place at Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur.

Bangladesh 476 (Das 128, Mushfiqur 106, McBrine 6-109) &amp, 297-4 (Mominul 87, Shadman 78, Hoey 2-84)

Ireland 265 (Tucker 75, Neill 49, Doheny 46, Taijul 4-76) &amp, 291 (Campher 71*, Tector 50, Murad 4-44)

By 217 runs, Bangladesh triumphed.

In the final day of the second Test, Bangladesh triumphed 2-0 in the series against Ireland in Mirpur.

After winning the first Test by an innings and 47 runs, they won the second Test by 217 runs.

Heinrich Mallan’s Ireland team knew Sunday would be a tough test because they needed 333 more runs on day five to deliver an unexpected surprise.

Curtis Campher impressed as he dug in for 71 not out of 259 balls despite being under the 509 target.

As he and Campher continued into the middle of the day, Gavin Hoey, who had a 104-ball season with him and enjoyed a four-fourth of a score, joined him.

Ireland’s total reached its highest fourth-innings Test score by a visiting team shortly after lunch.

In the final inning, Hasan Murad dismissed Hoey and Matthew Humphreys before ending the series and wrapping up the victory.

Murad finished with 4-44 as Ireland came out on top with 291 total.

The main focus of the day was “fight,” according to Ireland captain Andrew Balbirnie.

We anticipated facing it for the majority of the day, but Curtis and Gavin and even Jordan [Neill] were really impressed with his application and his play, in particular Curtis’ willingness to stay put for as long as he was.

Bangladesh were deserving of their victory, despite their great resilience, but at the same time, we were unquestionably outplayed.
