Bangladesh's hopes of qualifying for the Super Eights of the ICC World Twenty20 were dashed when they suffered a six-wicket defeat to Ireland in their Group A do-or-die match at Trent Bridge, Nottingham on Monday.
Ireland, comprising of county cricketers, reached 138-4 with 10 balls to spare after Bangladesh could manage 137-8.
Ireland reached the Super Eights along with India, who will face the Irish in a group-deciding encounter on June 10.
After going down to defending champions India by 25 runs in the first match, Bangladesh needed to win against Ireland, who also stunned Bangladesh in the 2007 World Cup in the West Indies.
