DHAKA: Bangladesh are prepared to face Ireland in their second vital match of the World T20 qualifier at Dharamsala on Friday (Mar 11).

The First Round Group A match is slated to begin at 19:30 local | 14:00 GMT.

Ireland have one step out of the door already, following their shock two-wicket defeat to Oman on Wednesday. Bangladesh however could manage the eight-run victory over the Netherlands in the same day.

Meanwhile, the ICC officials have expressed their concerns about the bowling actions of Taskin Ahmed and Arafat Sunny.

Their coach Chandika Hathurusingha informed reporters that his team had received written and official communication from the match officials that they were "concerned" the actions of the duo.

He said, though, that the duo was free to play and bowl for the time being.

Ireland have experienced playing in the late evening in Dharamsala and how dew becomes a factor. The manner in which the ball kept slipping out of Max Sorensen's grip in that fateful final over was enough suggestion that the team defending a total must have more than enough on the board.

Ireland will first however have to deal with the in-form Tamim Iqbal. He forced the issue once he was hitting them well, and until that happened, he was taking a lot of singles and twos.

The other Bangladesh batsmen who have been struggling to either start well (Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim) or capitalise on the start (Soumya Sarkar and Sabbir Rahman) can take a tip or two from Tamim's innings. If Bangladesh are to knock out Ireland, a more wholesome batting effort will be required given that their bowling attack could yet be depleted.

Tamim Iqbal batted against the Netherlands like he did in the Pakistan Super League by starting off with a lot of singles and then finding the boundaries. Bangladesh would want him to follow up with another big one against Ireland.

Bangladesh will still wait on Mustafizur Rahman's fitness and while the batting line-up doesn't really require a change, left-arm quick Abu Hider could be called up if the team is looking to give Taskin Ahmed some time off with his bowling action being questioned by the ICC.

Bangladesh (probable) 1 Tamim Iqbal, 2 Soumya Sarkar, 3 Sabbir Rahman, 4 Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), 5 Shakib Al Hasan, 6 Mahmudullah, 7 Nasir Hossain, 8 Mashrafe Mortaza (capt), 9 Al-Amin Hossain, 10 Arafat Sunny, 11 Taskin Ahmed

Left-arm spinner George Dockrell should return in place of one of the pace bowlers given the conditions in Dharamsala siding with the spinners.

Ireland (probable) 1 William Porterfield (capt), 2 Paul Stirling, 3 Gary Wilson, 4 Niall O'Brien (wk), 5 Kevin O'Brien, 6 Andrew Poynter, 7 Andy McBrine, 8 Max Sorensen, 9 Tim Murtagh/George Dockrell, 10 Boyd Rankin, 11 Craig Young
