Ireland can clinch the series with a victory in the second match on Saturday and Stirling is confident his side can do it.
“We’ve got two more goes to hopefully get a series win,” he added.
“I think we won our last game here (in 2023) as well, so we’ve sort of got two on the bounce so we’re taking that momentum into the third.”
Bangladesh right-hander Towhid Hridoy is backing his side to bounce back quickly in the next match and wants to see his fellow batters adopt a more aggressive approach when at the crease.
“When there are 180-plus runs on the board, you have to play shots,” Hridoy said after his innings of 83*.
As I said just now, the execution perhaps wasn’t done properly today. If our execution had been good early on, maybe it would have been different.
“I think it is totally a mindset issue. It’s not that we can’t do it. We have done it, and we have chased 200 runs and won matches. If our mindset is right and if we can execute properly, I think it will not be that difficult. And it’s not like we are chasing 200 or 180 runs every day. We have many players who are used to this. So, I hope we will overcome this.”
