IRE vs RSA Team Previews
Ireland
Irish men's team is eleventh in the ICC Men's Team ranking. They have a rating of 195 points. The last time the Ireland team contested a T20I game was in the recently concluded men's T20I World Cup held in the USA and West Indies. However, they could not get even a single win in the tournament. They will again be the underdogs in this series, although they have a good squad and are quite capable of causing an upset. One of the crucial players to watch out for is Curtis Campher.
Campher is a very capable batter who played in the middle order, and apart from that, he is a good bowler as well. He can break partnerships, making him a valuable addition to any team. A right-arm quick, Mark Adair has also extensively worked on his bowling during the last year. He can also make early inroads in the opposition's batting effort with the ball. He can also be a dangerous floater lower down the batting order with the bat. Ireland's Paul Stirling and Harry Tector are the other crucial players in the line-up.
Ireland Playing 11
Paul Stirling, Ross Adair, Harry Tector, Curtis Campher, Neil Rock, George Dockrell, Mark Adair, Fionn Hand, Matthew Humphreys, Craig Young, Ben White.
South Africa
South Africa has done much better than compared to their opposition in the T20I format of the game. They are currently positioned in the sixth spot in the T20I ranking for the ICC Men with a rating of 247. The Proteas also succeeded in reaching the final of the T20I World Cup played earlier this year. However, they are not in the best form in the T20 internationals. They were handed out a blackwash in the T20I series against the West Indies by a margin of 3-0. But they were playing away from home.
South Africans will be favorites to beat this weaker opposition and might even hand over a clean sweep to Ireland. One of the in-form batters for South Africa is Reeza Hendricks. He batted well against Afghanistan and will also be looking to extend his form with the bat in this series. Another crucial bowler for South Africa is Bjorn Fortuin. This left-arm spinner is a tight bowler. He rarely goes for too many runs and can pick up important wickets. He will be critical to the South African bowling effort in this series.
South Africa Playing 11
Ryan Rickelton, Reeza Hendricks, Matthew Breetzke, Aiden Markram, Tristan Stubbs, Wiaan Mulder, Patrick Kruger, Bjorn Fortuin, Nqaba Peter, Lizaad Williams, Ottneil Baartman.

Although the surface will initially favor the batters, it will also have something in it for the bowlers. The pacers can get bounce and assistance from the track initially with their bowling. The average score at this venue in the last ten T20 games is 128 runs, so it is not specifically a big-scoring venue.
We are likely to get clear conditions during this game on Friday evening. The temperature will be close to 32 degrees, and the relative humidity will be close to 70%. Showers are not possible during this evening, so the spectators can enjoy an uninterrupted game of cricket.
