Team Performance  

Team Ireland is looking balanced with a bunch of young and experienced players present in the squad. All eyes will be on skipper Paul Stirling and how he leads the team from the front. While the presence of experienced Andrew Balbirnie and Harry Tector provides more strength to their batting line-up.  

Mark Adair, who bagged a four-fer in the second T20I, which Ireland won, will lead the Irish bowling attack, which is looking decent on paper.  

Temba Bavuma and Rassie van der Dussen inclsion in the ODI squad is a big boost for the Proteas. While Tristan Stubbs and Ryan Rickelton are other dependable batters present in the team.  

Ireland vs South Africa who will win?  

South Africa despite a more experienced international side will need to play their best game against the highly confident Irish team. However, the Proteas, due to their in-depth batting and strong fielding, will start this game as favourites.
