Preview Ireland vs South Africa 2021
After a clean sweep for the Irish men in the ODIs, The Proteas seem vulnerable. Nevertheless the format of T20s is not similar to that of ODIs. The Ireland made one change of leaving out former skipper William Porterfield. The move brought Balbirnie to open, who instantly found success. Ireland may continue with the same combination
For South Africa their bowling is an issue obviously as they leaked more runs than they would have liked. On top of that, they haven’t picked up a lot of wickets as well, which is absolutely the worst-case scenario. There is no update on Quinton de Kock, and he could be seen warming benches again.
