The team opened with Reeza Hendricks and Ryan Rickleton in this tour. The pair scored 136 & 50 runs before their first dismissal in the two T20Is.

Match Prediction Best Odds
Ireland vs South Africa Toss Prediction
The Sheikh Zayed Stadium played out of character and aided the batters as the bowlers struggled in the second half of the first T20I game. But the pitch still assists spinners and provides minimal turn and lower bounce. The skies will be clear on the weather front, and there will be no hint of rain during the game. Hence the skipper winning the toss will be tempted to bat first in the upcoming second T20I.
Weather Report
It will be a hot day in Abu Dhabi on October 2. The temperature will peak at 37 degrees Celsius. The skies will remain sunny and there is no prediction of rain.
