Mohammad Issam of ESPNCricinfo reported that left-armer Mrityunjay Choudhary has replaced Taskin, while spinner Taijul Islam has also come in as a replacement for Nasum Ahmed.

After a stellar Performance in domestic cricket in both formats:-

A common sight in Bangladesh’s domestic training camps as a net bowler, Mrityunjay’s selection follows impressive performances in domestic cricket in both the white-ball formats over the past two seasons.

He has claimed a dozen wickets in the ongoing List A competition at home this year, 17 wickets in last year’s competition and 23 wickets in the last two editions of the Bangladesh Premier League.

Three wins will take Ireland to 98 Points:-

Three wins would take Ireland to 98 points, level with South Africa, currently positioned in the last automatic qualification spot.

The teams will also be on a winning side, meaning Ireland will also need to improve their net run rate from -0.382 to -0.076 or better to overtake the Proteas.

The teams ranked 9th to 13th at the end of the Super League will proceed to the ten-team Cricket World Cup qualifiers starting June 18 in Zimbabwe.
