Bangladesh A scored 85 runs in the last five overs as Yasir came out from the shell to dismantle the Irish bowling line up in emphatic fashion. He smacked five sixes and eight fours in his 101-ball 102. Barry McCarthy and Shane Getkate snared two wickets each while Simi Singh and George Dockrell grabbed one apiece.

The visitors started poorly, losing Sean Terry and the in-form Andrew Balbirnie in the first 9.2 overs. Thereafter, Jack Tector and John Anderson added 83 runs for the third wicket to bring them back into the contest.

But from 117 for two, Ireland A lost four wickets in the less than eight overs, before eventually getting bowled out for 210 runs in 43.4 overs.
