Bangladesh are coming into the T20I series with confidence, having achieved an impressive 2-0 win in the previous Test series against the same opposition. However, they will be looking to put their recent T20I form behind them, which saw them suffer a 3-0 defeat at home against West Indies ahead of the Test matches.
For Ireland, this series is an important opportunity to bounce back after a difficult Test campaign. Their recent T20I form has also been shaky, including a 2-0 series defeat against England earlier this year.
