South Africa are favorites to win
The second and final IT20 between Ireland and South Africa takes place on Friday evening in Bristol. Although the opener was played in front of a sparse crowd at the same venue, those in attendance were treated to an excellent contest with South Africa coming out on top by 21 runs. Read on as we preview this day-night IT20. The match gets underway at the County Ground, Bristol at 18:30 local time.
Ireland were an economical bowler and one more batter away from winning the game on Wednesday. They are very close to the top teams but have gone missing at crucial moments over recent IT20s.
South Africa were a worried side with around 20 balls remaining and Lorcan Tucker going well for Ireland. However, they have vast experience in their bowling attack and that will probably be enough again in this clash.
TV channels: This match will be shown live on BT Sports in the UK and on Super Sports in South Africa.
Live Streaming: Fans can stream the match on Fancode in India.
South Africa won the toss and chose to bat first on Wednesday. Ireland would have chosen to field first and we expect to see the teams bat in the same order in this game irrespective of who wins the toss.
As expected, there were plenty of sixes and fours at this ground for the opening game. Expect the pace-off bowlers to have the most success alongside the pacers with strong slower-balls.
There will be some cloud cover but expect a good amount of sun before it sets. 40% humidity with a pleasant breeze.

Craig Young was ruled out of the opening game of the series through injury and we do not think there will be sufficient time for him to recover for this match. His replacement, George Dockrell, struck 43 runs from 28 balls and will keep his place in the side.
Ireland have now lost seven straight IT20s. They are playing good cricket but are lacking that added bit of quality against the top teams.
Paul Stirling, Andy Balbirnie (c), Gareth Delany, Harry Tector, Curtis Campher, Lorcan Tucker (wk), George Dockrell, Mark Adair, Andy McBrine, Josh Little, Barry McCarthy
Keshav Maharaj took over the captaincy of the side after David Miller suffered lower back spasms before the game on Wednesday. However, we expect Miller to be back to lead the team in this game. We expect Wayne Parnell to be given another opportunity and out of form Quinton de Kock to retain his place in the XI.
South Africa have registered three successive IT20 victories. They have never won four in a row and will be targeting doing so in this game.
Quinton de Kock (wk), Reeza Hendricks, Heinrich Klaasen, Rassie van der Dussen, Aiden Markram, David Miller (c), Tristan Stubbs, Wayne Parnell, Keshav Maharaj, Lungi Ngidi, Tabraiz Shamsi
South Africa made it four wins out of four in IT20s between the two sides on Wednesday. In winning the match, they posted their highest IT20 score against Ireland.

The game on Wednesday was a great spectacle but Ireland’s issue of not being able to sustain a performance across an innings was highlighted again. The bookies have South Africa as heavy favourites.
Both teams have players capable of clearing the boundaries in Bristol, but it was the ability of the South African pace bowlers to deliver economical overs which won the opening match of the series.
We are backing Paul Stirling, Andy Balbirnie and Lorcan Tucker as our batting picks for Ireland. Balbirnie hit three fours at the top of the order on Wednesday.
Rassie van der Dussen, Reeza Hendricks and Aiden Markram are our tips with the bat for South Africa. van der Dussen averages 69.31 in this format.
Josh Little, Mark Adair and Andy McBrine are our recommendations with the ball for Ireland. Little dismissed the dangerous young star Tristan Stubbs in the opening game.
We expect Lungi Ngidi, Tabraiz Shamsi and Wayne Parnell to be the top bowlers for South Africa. Parnell took 2-36 and delivered five dot balls from the final over of the match.
We saw over 400 runs in Wednesday’s game in Bristol and we are predicting another high scoring fixture on Friday evening. Ireland should be encouraged by recent performances and will surely perform well at the T20 World Cup in a couple of months. However, South Africa are a class above and we expect another win for South Africa.
