Ireland vs South Africa Betting Tips

South Africa to score high before 1st dismissal (@Batery)

South Africa is a very strong team. They looked weak in the T20Is after their loss against India in the T20 World Cup finals. The team is missing a few of their players in this series. 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. Tony de Zorzi and Ryan Rickleton opened for the side in the ODI series and scored 31 runs for their opening partnership. Rickleton scored 91 runs while Zorzi scored 12 runs in the game. Looking at their current form, South Africa will be confident with their opening pair and shall score high before their 1st dismissal in the first ODI of this series.

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 4. The temperature will peak at 37 degrees Celsius. The skies will remain sunny and there is no prediction of rain.
