IRE vs RSA Match Prediction & Analysis
South Africa get ready to face Ireland in a T20I encounter for the first time since August 2022 when they were able to make a 44-run victory. It was one of the last big results against Ireland, who have suffered five consecutive losses against this opponent. South Africa will be going with their inexperienced squad contrary to expectations. Even though several regulars will be unavailable, South Africa have undoubtedly gone for a talented team.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Ireland Preview
South Africa have not been in the greatest form coming into the match. The team had a very difficult series against West Indies. After a 3-0 loss in the series, South Africa getting back in action for the first time. The team are currently sixth in the ICC T20 rankings. There is a decent potential for South Africa to get a series victory and this will be the big expectation of the team.
Reeza Hendricks comes into the game after having shown decent form in the matches against Afghanistan. He has come up with 17 and 18 runs in his last two ODI matches for South Africa against Afghanistan. Even though it is not the greatest piece of batting, South Africa will be looking to maximise his striking potential. Hendricks scored 44 in one of the last two T20 matches against West Indies.
South Africa have a great opportunity to build with the inexperienced squad, as a number of their top players are above 30. The series with Ireland should act as a great opportunity for the players. Lungi Ngidi will be the pick of the bowlers.
IRE Over/Under Betting Tips
The wicket keeper batter has scores of 4, 55 & 40 runs in his last three T20I innings. Against South Africa he has scored 114 runs in five innings and averages over just over 20. In 2024 he has scored 263 runs in 12 innings and has been one of the best batters for Ireland. We back Tucker to come good in today's match and score over 15.5 runs.
Ireland Predicted Playing XI:
Aiden Markram (c), Reeza Hendricks, Ryan Rickelton (wk), Tristan Stubbs, Jason Smith, Wiaan Mulder, Andile Simelane, Bjorn Fortuin, Lungi Ngidi, Ottneil Baartman, Lizaad Williams
Ireland Actual Playing XI:
Ross Adair, Harry Tector, Paul Stirling, Curtis Campher, George Dockrell, Fionn Hand, Matthew Humphreys, Neil Rock, Mark Adair, Ben White, Craig Young
South Africa Preview
After a very disappointing T20 World Cup 2024, Ireland have been keen on trying out several new aspects in the hope of finding a winning combination. There are a few high-profile absentees from the series due to injuries and commitments. The series will also provide Ireland with a great experience of the ODI matches after having not been involved in the same for the last few months.
Curtis Campher will be looking to come up with a good all-round performance. He has the potential to break partnerships while also being very capable with the bat. Meanwhile, Mark Adair is another player who is expected to play a key role in the series. His game in the last 12 months has been excellent and he has the strike rate to come up with some quick runs whenever required.
Ireland will undoubtedly begin the contest as underdogs, but they are certainly capable of springing a surprise.
SA Over/Under Betting Tips
Reeza Hendricks has scored 25 or more runs in two of the last five T20I matches. He is a seasoned and consistent run-scorer for South Africa. In 2024, he has accumulated 297 runs in 15 innings, and against Ireland, he has an outstanding record with 185 runs in three matches, averaging 61.70. Considering his recent form and record against Ireland, we predict Reeza Hendricks to score over 23.5 runs.
South Africa Predicted Playing XI:
Paul Stirling (c), Ross Adair, Lorcan Tucker (wk), Harry Tector, Gareth Delany, Curtis Campher, Mark Adair, George Dockrell, Graham Hume, Craig Young, Ben White
South Africa Actual Playing XI:
Reeza Hendricks, Aiden Markram, Patrick Kruger, Wiaan Mulder, Matthew Breetzke, Ryan Rickelton, Tristan Stubbs, Ottneil Baartman, Bjorn Fortuin, Lizaad Williams, Nqaba Peter
PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
The pitch at Zayed Cricket Stadium is expected to be in favour of bowlers more than the batsmen. Among the bowlers, pacers will have more preference with the greatest swing happening in the first few overs of the new ball. The average score in the last 10 T20 matches on this ground is 128. The weather in Abu Dhabi is expected to be hot and humid with maximum temperatures hitting 37°C.

The Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi is the location for the first of the three-game T20 series between South Africa and Ireland. The venue is preparing to host a T20I game for the first time since February 2023 when UAE played against Afghanistan.
Toss: To Bat
The choice of the toss winner will be to bat first and make the most of a favourable batting condition, which is expected to change as the match progresses. South Africa were sent to bat first in two of the last three games against West Indies and they ended up losing both matches. South Africa will be keen on chasing rather than setting a target.
IRE vs RSA
Winning Prediction
Ireland have not been involved in T20I action since the World Cup, which ended in a humiliating fashion for the team with no victories. South Africa might have made some interesting changes to the squad, but they remain strong as ever. Ireland certainly start the competition as the underdogs and they are likely to come second best in this opener.
Our prediction is for South Africa to win
