In March 2023, Cricket Ireland (CI) confirmed that all three ODIs would be played at Chelmsford in England.[6] This was due to better weather in England than in Ireland, leading to a better chance of full matches being played to a result.[7]
Going into the series, Ireland needed to win all three matches to claim the eighth and final automatic place in the 2023 Cricket World Cup[8] at the expense of South Africa.[9] South Africa's qualification for the World Cup was confirmed[10] when the first ODI ended with no result due to rain.[11] The result meant that Ireland had to go through the 2023 Cricket World Cup Qualifier to qualify for the 2023 Cricket World Cup.[12]
The first ODI ended in a no result due to rain.[13] Bangladesh won the series 2–0.[14]
