The first ODI between Bangladesh and Ireland of the three-match series was washed out due to rain in Chelmsford, England on Tuesday.
Ireland managed to score 65 runs for the loss of three midway into the 17th over in pursuit of Bangladesh’s 246 for nine before rain interrupted play.
The three-match series is part of the World Cup Super League and Tuesday’s result had an impact on the table as it guaranteed South Africa automatic qualification Super League of the World Cup in India later this year and ended hopes of direct qualification for the Irish, who needed to take the series 3-0.
