Bangladesh beat Ireland by 27 runs

Bangladesh — Pace bowler Shafiul Islam claimed four wickets while skipper Shakib Al Hasan and Mohammad Ashraful took two apiece to steer Bangladesh to a 27-run win over Ireland in their World Cup match in Group B on Friday.
Batting first, Bangladesh reached 205 all out in 49.2 overs after a 44 from Tamim Iqbal, along with two useful innings from Raqibul Hassan (38) and Mushfiqur Rahim (36).
Ireland started steadily in reply but was dismissed for 178 with five overs to spare in its first match of the tournament.
Niall O'Brien topscored for the Irish with 38, while Shafiul led the Bangladesh bowling with 4-21 as his side got points on the board after opening with a defeat by fellow co-host last Saturday.
