Tim Murtagh © Gallo Images Rain also sends Ireland home 11 March 2016, 18:55 --> Fantasy Store --> Ireland crashed out of the World T20 on Friday after rain forced their match against Bangladesh in Dharamsala to be abandoned. Full Scorecard: Bangladesh v Ireland Ireland got some action against Bangladesh - unlike the preceding match between the Netherlands and Oman - before heavy rain intervened and washed away their hopes.'I know we are out of the competition. It's a disappointing thing for ourselves, kind of last thing on our mind and it's hard to take when the rain interrupts here,' a dejected Ireland captain William Porterfield said.After a delayed start, the second match witnessed Ireland winning the toss and inviting Bangladesh to bat in a game reduced to 12-overs-a-side.Opener Tamim Iqbal's breezy 47 provided good entertainment to the sparse crowd that had stayed on patiently as Bangladesh were 94 for two after eight overs when rain stopped play for one final time. 'Tamim has always been an important player for us and he was good in PSL (Pakistan Super League) and now he takes his form into the World Cup. So it's good for us,' said Bangladesh skipper Mashrafe Mortaza.Oman had defeated Ireland by two wickets in their first game while Bangladesh edged the Netherlands by just eight runs.Afghanistan will take on Zimbabwe on Saturday where the winner will make the Super 10s, while Hong Kong meet Scotland in the other Group B match.BANGLADESH: Tamim Iqbal, Soumya Sarkar, Sabbir Rahman, Shakib Al Hasan, Mahmudullah, Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Mohammad Mithun, Mashrafe Mortaza (capt), Abu Hider, Taskin Ahmed, Al-Amin HossainIRELAND: WTS Porterfield (capt), PR Stirling, GC Wilson, NJ O'Brien (wk)†, KJ O'Brien, AD Poynter, AR McBrine, MC Sorensen, TJ Murtagh, WB Rankin, GH Dockrell
