Bangladesh beat Ireland by 77 runs in the second T20 International in Chattogram on Wednesday to take a 2-0 winning lead in the three-match series. The match was reduced to 17 overs due to rain interruption. In this match, opener Liton Das scored 83 runs in 41 balls with 10 fours and three sixes, while captain Shakib Al Hasan took five wickets for 22 runs. Liton completed his half-century in just 18 balls, which is the fastest T20 International half-century by a Bangladeshi batsman. He went past Mohammad Ashraful, who scored a 20-ball fifty in the T20 World Cup against West Indies in 2007. Bangladesh scored 202 runs for three wickets with Liton’s innings. He shared a 124-run partnership for the first wicket with Ronnie Talukdar (44). Captain Shakib also scored an unbeaten 38 runs.
