The rickshaw, a symbol of Bangladesh’s daily life, gave the players a taste of the local rhythm—colorful markets, friendly faces, and the city’s lively chaos. This cultural moment highlighted how international cricket fosters connections far beyond the game.
The Ireland women’s cricket team is currently touring Bangladesh for a white-ball series from November 27 to December 9, 2024. The series includes three ODIs being played at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka and three T20Is at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram.
The series opener on November 27 saw Bangladesh register a resounding 154-run victory in the first ODI, their biggest ever by runs margin. Sharmin Akhter’s stellar 96 off 89 balls powered the hosts to their highest-ever ODI total of 252/4. Ireland struggled against Bangladesh’s bowlers, with Sultana Khatun and Nahida Akter taking three wickets each, dismissing Ireland for just 98.
This historic series marks the first time Bangladesh is hosting Ireland for a bilateral white-ball tour. Moments like the rickshaw ride reflect how cricket serves as a bridge between cultures, celebrating diversity and camaraderie alongside thrilling on-field action.
