IRE vs RSA Match Prediction - Jul 22, 2021

South Africa is showing that its loss to Ireland in the second ODI match was a freak occurrence. It managed to win the third ODI and now the first T20 international comfortably. The second T20 is an opportunity for South Africa to register a series win on this tour and build on the gains that it made in the Caribbean.

Ireland has to believe that it can repeat what it did in the ODI series and push South Africa. It is not going to be easy but there are some weaknesses to exploit on both sides. This usually means some great betting opportunities to take advantage of so let us try and uncover those as well.

IRE vs RSA Team Previews

Ireland

Ireland does not have a strong batting lineup and that proved to be its downfall in the first T20. It is all about getting runs from the top-3 for Ireland and that did not happen in the opening match. Paul Stirling, Kevin O Brien, and Andrew Balbirie got out cheaply but they did show a lot of intent.

Stirling hit the first ball of the Ireland inning for a six and then got out trying to repeat the shot.

WIth George Dockrell, Harry Tector, and Simi Singh in the lineup, Ireland does not have a weak batting lineup but it seems to be a bit less suited to T20 cricket than the 50 over game. There is a lack of power in the middle order and too much dependence on Paul Stirling and Andrew Balbirnie.

Simi Singh and Joshua Little bowled brilliantly in the opening match to limit the damage done by the South African batsmen. Mark Adair also picked up three wickets to help boost Ireland’s confidence going into this next match.

Ireland is an improved team and could give South Africa a scare but it still seems to lack that tiny bit to be a consistent threat to the top teams.

Ireland Playing 11

Andy Balbirnie, PR Stirling, Kevin O'Brien, Harry Tector, George Dockrell, Lorcan Tucker, Shane Getkate, Simi Singh, Mark Adair, Craig Young, Joshua Little.


South Africa

It was surprising to see Temba Bavuma walk out to open the batting when Janneman Malan and Aiden Markram were also in the playing eleven. Bavuma has been named captain and is trying desperately to make a big score to cement his place in the team. That has not happened so far and is unlikely to.

Still, Having QUinton de Kock, Aiden Markram, Janneman Malan, Rassie van der Dussen, and David Miller is a huge batting advantage for South Africa.

Kagiso Rabada, Lizaad Williams, Lungi Ngidi, George Linde, and Tabraiz Shamsi were in the bowling unit during the first T20. This is an awesome attack with four established bowlers and one that is making a name for himself in this format of the game.

The bowling unit does not have many weak links and once again, South Africa holds a massive advantage over its opposition in this match.
