While Bangladesh suffered a crushing 84-run loss at the hands of the Uday Saharan-led India colts, Ireland on the other hand registered a comprehensive seven-wicket victory over the USA. Nevertheless, knowing the strength and talent that they possess, neither side will dare to take the other lightly in what promises to be a riveting encounter in Bloemfontein.
For the Irish, the incisive three-wicket hauls by medium pacers Oliver Riley - Player Of The Match for his bowling plus two catches - and Reuben Wilson were the highlights, as was the unbeaten half century by wicketkeeper-batter Ryan Hunter.
For Bangladesh, despite the defeat, the fifer by left-arm seamer Maruf Mridha was a silver lining and he would be looking to make early inroads against Ireland too.
