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.

Paul Stirling remains their aggressive opening batter capable of taking the attack to the South African bowlers early on. Stirling will be required to show his leadership on the day. The Ireland skipper has more than 5700 ODI runs.

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. Williams’ ability to deliver in crunch situations gives South Africa an edge in pressure moments. The fast bowler has been the most consistent bowler of the tour with four wickets and three wickets respectively.
