Bangladesh vs Ireland Second T20I Match Report<\/strong> - Shakib Al Hasan took five wickets and Liton Das hit a quick-fire half-century as Bangladesh hammered Ireland by 77 runs in the second T20 to seal the three-match series 2-0 in Chittagong on Wednesday. SCORECARD<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Liton hit a career-best 83 off 41 balls and Rony Talukdar made 44 off 23 as the two openers guided Bangladesh to 202-3 in a rain-reduced 17 overs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Shakib then claimed 5-22 to restrict Ireland to 125-9 and become the leading international wicket-taker in T20s, overtaking New Zealander Tim Southee's 134 wickets.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Curtis Campher top-scored for Ireland with 50 but it came much too late.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The visitors were never in the contest after Taskin Ahmed, who finished with 3-27, claimed a wicket off the first ball of the innings. Shakib then reduced Ireland to 43 for 6.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Liton and Rony shared 124 runs in their opening stand, the best start by Bangladesh in a T20, after Ireland captain Paul Stirling won the toss and elected to bowl.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Liton, who hit 10 fours and three sixes, reached his fifty off 18 balls, the quickest T20 fifty for Bangladesh. He surpassed Mohammad Ashraful's 20-ball half-century against West Indies in 2007.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Leg-spinner Ben White earned Ireland their first breakthrough when he forced Rony to give a catch to Mark Adair at long on.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

White, the only Ireland bowler to give Bangladesh any trouble, also dismissed Liton in his next over before finishing with 2-28.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

However, Shakib (38 not out) and Towhid Hridoy (24) put on 61 runs for the fourth wicket to help Bangladesh put on a big total.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
