Upcoming Schedule of Matches for Ireland vs South Africa

Under normal circumstances, you would think South Africa is a massive favorite heading into this series, however, Ireland managed to end the T20 series that precedes the ODI's 1-1. The conditions will also favor Ireland a lot more than they will South Africa as the South Africans prefer the ball coming on the bat and a bit more bounce.

In addition, South Africa has rested some of its senior players and is using this tour as a development tour to help give its younger players some experience. You may find the odds available for this series a lot closer than otherwise.

In our opinion, bettors should not get swayed too much by the results that Ireland managed to post in the T20 series. The longer a cricket game, the more difficult it is for an upset to take place. You should look to take advantage of the odds on offer and back South Africa to win the series (and each individual match).
