Ireland team anylisis
Ireland is not a very big team. But there are some players in this team who have scored runs against big teams and if they get going then they can give a headache to south africa.
1Harry Tector –
Harry Tector is world class batsman. This batsman has scored runs against a big team like England.
2 Paul Stirling
-Irish captain Paul Stirling is known for giving a quick start in the powerplay. If he plays 10 overs in his style then it can create problems for South Africa
South Africa team anylisis –
South Africa is a big team but its big players like David Miller and Heinrich Klaasen are not in the team right now. Some players are busy in the Caribbean Premier League. And the players who are currently available there form are are not good. so this is an opportunity for them to improve their form.
1 Aiden Markram–
South Africa captain Aiden Markram is struggling with poor form. But we have seen in his prime time that when he scores runs, there is nothing left for the opposing team. And this time there is no big team like England and Australia, so this is a golden opportunity for them to come back to their form.
2 Lungi Ngidi-
South Africa lost the match in the last series against Afghanistan due to poor performance, but if anyone bowled well in the lost match, it was Lungi Ngidi. And in this match too, the same expectation will be there from him that he will take wickets in the power play. Because Ireland’s biggest strength is their opening batsman.
Pich report –
This match is to be played at Zayed Cricket Stadium. Which is a small stadium. So it is a good opportunity for the batsmen to score runs.
Prediction –
South Africa is big team. But they have just returned after losing the series to Afghanistan. So right now South Africa’s morale is down. But Ireland does not have any impactful bowler, Ireland has only a few good batsmen.So There is 80% chance that South Africa will win this match
