BAN vs IRE 1st ODI Match Prediction & Betting Tips
After clean-sweeping, the reigning World Cup Champions - England in their previous T20 series, Bangladesh will now kick off their multi-format series against Ireland wherein the first ODI will take place at the Sylhet Cricket Stadium. With both teams trying to make a name for themselves in the 50-over format, let us take a detailed look at the predicted starting XI, weather, and pitch report amongst more.
As mentioned above Bangladesh is heading into this series, being full of confidence after beating England previously. Having already qualified for the 50-ver ICC World Cup in India this year, Bangladesh would want to justify its place with another dominant display.
On the other hand, Ireland has never won an ODI series against Bangladesh. Chasing a berth in the 50-over World Cup this year, Ireland would want to get some confidence under their belt. However, interestingly, at the Bangladesh home grounds, the spoken-off nation has never been able to defeat the hosts in ODIs.

BAN vs IRE Match Toss Prediction
The pitch at the Sylhet Cricket Stadium offers good help for the batsmen once when they settle in. Given the flat surface, the pacers could even get swing early on. However, the captain winning the toss is most likely to bat first.

Who will win Bangladesh vs Ireland 1st ODI Match?
Bangladesh is obviously the favorite heading into this contest. Given how multiple batsmen of the former team have been in splendid form, there is no doubt that we could be in for a one-sided contest.
Bangladesh vs Ireland Prediction
We predict Bangladesh to win in a dominant fashion against Ireland in the first ODI. Given that the Asian team has plenty to prove before the start of the ICC 50-over World Cup, and is itching to showcase their caliber on the international stage, this ODI series against Ireland could be their perfect opportunity to do so. Moreover, with Najmul Hossain, Shakib, and Tamim all being in good form, Ireland will have to impose early pressure if they are to cause an upset.
