Ireland Tour of Bangladesh 2nd Test: BAN vs IRE Match Prediction Who Will Win Today's Match?

Bangladesh are all set to clash against Ireland on November 19, 2025, for the 2nd Test match of the series at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium in Dhaka, Bangladesh, at 9:00 AM IST.

BAN vs IRE Match Prediction

Heading into the second Test in Dhaka, Bangladesh will start as the clear favourites to win the series 2-0. The hosts dominated every department in the first Test, led by Mahmudul Hasan Joy’s brilliant unbeaten 169 and Najmul Hossain Shanto’s century, which set up a massive first-innings total. Their spinners, Taijul Islam, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, and the impressive newcomer Hasan Murad, then took control, exposing Ireland’s weakness against quality spin.

Ireland, on the other hand, arrives at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium under pressure. Andy McBrine’s fifty was one of the few positives in an otherwise difficult outing. They are capable of fighting back, but will need a much-improved performance to challenge Bangladesh in their own conditions.
