Betting Tips
The first boundary to be four runs
1.06
This is a safe bet. Both teams will not be trying to force the ball over the boundary ropes early on. Particularly on a slower pitch, the batters' boundary options could be along the ground.
Total runs in first over for Ireland under 3.5 runs
1.78
This would be a reasonable bet to go for. Ireland have only managed three runs for one wicket and one run for no wickets in their first overs of both ODIs.
South Africa total runs in the first ten overs to be 52 runs or more
1.85
There is a slight element of risk to this bet because of the inconsistency in the away side's scores in the opening powerplay. They scored 39 runs for three wickets in the first ODI and 61 runs for no loss in the second ODI. They could be starting to find their groove in the opening ten overs.

Ireland
Ireland has made considerable strides in international cricket. Heading into this match, they’ll look to their core players for big performances to avoid a clean sweep.

Mark Adair, known for his ability to swing the ball and his knack for taking wickets at crucial moments, will be vital in leading Ireland’s pace attack. The fast bowler claimed four wickets in the opening ODI.
All-rounder George Dockrell adds experience and can be a key weapon on a slow surface, especially in the middle overs. He has a combination of more than 1300 ODI runs with more than 100 ODI wickets.
Curtis Campher, another exciting all-rounder, will need to contribute with both bat and ball. His ability to break partnerships with the ball and score crucial runs makes him indispensable to Ireland’s chances. The South African born Campher has 266 runs in his last ten ODI matches.

South Africa
South Africa will enter this match as strong contenders with a lineup filled with both experienced and emerging talent. They have already wrapped up the series after going two-nil up in the three-match ODI series.
Ryan Rickelton, a talented left-handed batter, has been in good form and provides additional depth to South Africa’s batting. His ability to adapt and score quickly could be crucial in setting or chasing a challenging target. Rickelton starred in the first ODI with a magnificent 91 runs off 102 balls.
Tristan Stubbs, known for his explosive batting in limited overs games, brings a fearlessness to South Africa's middle-order batting and can turn the game in their favour with his power-hitting. The young middle-order batter showed his talent with a maiden ODI century in the second ODI. He scored 112 runs not out off 81 balls.
Lizaad Williams, with his pace and movement, is another key bowler who will aim to trouble Ireland’s top-order batting.
