“Mushfiqur Rahim’s century in his 100th Test was a landmark moment for Bangladesh cricket.”
Bangladesh completed a 2–0 series sweep over Ireland with a dominant 217-run win in the second Test at Mirpur. The victory followed their first Test triumph, giving them full control of the series.
Batting led the way for Bangladesh. Liton Das scored 128, while Mushfiqur Rahim celebrated his 100th Test with a century and added 53 not out in the second innings. Shadman Islam, Mominul Haque, and Mahmudul Hasan Joy also contributed crucial runs.
The spinners played a key role. Taijul Islam took 8 wickets in the match, reaching 250 Test wickets, and Hasan Murad claimed 4 in the second innings to seal the win. Mehidy Hasan Miraz also provided important breakthroughs.
Ireland resisted, with Curtis Campher unbeaten on 71 and Harry Tector scoring 50, but they could not chase Bangladesh’s massive totals.
The win highlighted Bangladesh’s batting depth and spin strength. The 2–0 series sweep gives them confidence and momentum for future Test matches.
