Ireland and Bangladesh are all in readiness of locking horns in a three-match ODI series for the second time within a couple of months. Although their previous ODI series was just another bilateral series without any major significance in the larger scheme of things, the imminent series carries a lot of weight with respect to both Ireland and South Africa’s direct qualification for the upcoming ICC Cricket World Cup.

Scheduled to be played in India later this year, the world event will open doors for Ireland only and only if they whitewash Bangladesh for the first time in this format. Readers must note that Ireland are yet to win a bilateral ODI series against them despite three attempts in the past.
Bangladesh, meanwhile, can’t qualify themselves but even a lone victory for them will power South Africa to the World Cup without having to play the Qualifying tournament next month.
In what is the last series of this ICC Men’s World Cup Super League Series, Ireland have opted to play on a neutral venue in Chelmsford (England) in order to not let any of the three matches get affected by rain back home.
