Ireland and South Africa will face off in a two-match T20I series with the first match getting underway on August 3 at the County Ground in Bristol. The Proteas are coming off a rare T20I series victory against England in their own backyard.
They will be high on morale and would look to maintain their winning ways against Ireland. However, David Miller and Co wouldn’t want to take this Irish team lightly.
Andrew Balbirnie-led Ireland were competitive in the home series against India. But Ireland was defeated comprehensively by New Zealand in both ODIs and T20Is. Ireland will need to play their best cricket if they have to compete against a strong limited-overs side like South Africa. The team management would want the opening pair of Paul Stirling and Andrew Balbirnie to provide a solid start in the upcoming series.
