"We could have batted better on a challenging wicket last game. We were in a position to put 270-280 but our bowling was great. We had a good training session yesterday, long one and the weather was fantastic," Tamim said at the toss.
Andy Balbirnie, Ireland Captain said, "It's a pretty good wicket. We could've bowled a bit better but it was strange as we were 60 for three," at the toss.
