Taijul And Murad Guide Bangladesh To 2-0 Series Sweep
Shakib Al Hasan: Hasan Murad broke Ireland’s stubborn resistance on the final day, securing Bangladesh’s 217-run victory in the second Test in Dhaka on Sunday.
Curtis Campher stood firm with an unbeaten 71 off 259 balls, and alongside Gavin Hoey, endured over 31 overs before Murad dismissed Hoey and No. 11 Matthew Humphreys with consecutive deliveries to seal a 2-0 series sweep.
Murad and Taijul Islam each claimed four wickets, but the standout moment of the match belonged to Mushfiqur Rahim, who scored a century in his 100th Test. Taijul also reached a personal milestone, becoming the sixth left-arm spinner to pick up 250 Test wickets; he had earlier overtaken Shakib Al Hasan’s 246 to become Bangladesh’s leading wicket-taker. Play had also been briefly halted on the third day due to an earthquake.
