After clinching the ODI series, South Africa is set to face Ireland in the final game of the series on 7th October at the Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi. South Africa has been dominant throughout, with Tristan Stubbs hitting an unbeaten 112 in the last game and Lizaad Williams collecting 7 wickets in the first two ODIs. The Proteas are looking to wrap up the series on a high note, and Ireland, led by Paul Stirling, has a tough task ahead.
Lotus365 IRE vs RSA Match Preview & AnalysisSouth Africa has already sealed the series 2-0, after big-margin victories of 139 runs and 174 runs in the first two games. Tristan Stubbs and Lizaad Williams have been standout performers. Ireland, on the other hand, has had a rough 2024, losing all ODIs played this year. The Irish top-order will need significant improvements if they are to avoid a whitewash.
With skipper Temba Bavuma's availability uncertain due to injury, Rassie van der Dussen may take over the captaincy. South Africa’s batting looks strong with Ryan Rickelton, Stubbs, and Kyle Verreynne in form. On the bowling front, Ngidi and Williams have dominated, ensuring Ireland struggles to set or chase targets.
Ireland will hope Harry Tector and George Dockrell can help them post a competitive total, while Mark Adair will need to lead the charge in limiting South Africa’s runs. But given South Africa's recent form, Ireland has a slim chance of turning things around.
Key Players to Watch Out For:
Ireland: Harry Tector, George Dockrell, Mark Adair
South Africa: Tristan Stubbs, Lizaad Williams, Ryan Rickelton
Toss Prediction: To Bat FirstThe pitch at the Zayed Cricket Stadium favors batters, especially in the first innings. Historically, teams defending totals have won 35 out of 53 ODIs played here. Given the surface, the team winning the toss should opt to bat.
Lotus365 Match Prediction: South Africa to WinWith two comprehensive wins under their belt, South Africa looks set to dominate again. Ireland's inconsistent top order and South Africa's in-form batting and bowling units give the Proteas a clear edge. Expect South Africa to win the final ODI and complete a series sweep.
