Ireland vs South Africa 1st ODI Prediction & Betting Tips
Ireland will take on South Africa in the 1st ODI at Dublin. The match will get underway at 3:30 PM IST
Ireland brace themselves for a stern South Africa challenge. Talking about ODIs, Ireland have not been in the best of form. They have lost four of their last five ODI series. South Africa, on the other hand, were outclassed by Pakistan but bounced back to defeat West Indies in the Test and T20I series. South Africa have a full-strength squad at disposal and one could safely say that there are favourites for the series. However, Ireland cannot be counted out. With players like William Porterfield, Andrew Balbirnie, Paul Stirling, Andy McBrine, Mark Adair, they can challenge any opposition on their day.

Ireland Team News & Playing 11
IRE Team News
Pacer Curtis Campher, who underwent surgery in May this year, has been included in the Ireland squad for the South Africa series. His inclusion will be a big boost for Ireland
IRE Key Players
- Paul Stirling - Stirling is Ireland’s highest run-getter in limited-overs cricket. He was in decent form in the English county cricket and will be looking to transform his form in the ODI series as well.
- Joshua Little - Joshua Little was one of the few players who impressed in Irelands’s last series against the Netherlands. He picked up 8 wickets at an economy rate of 3.5 RPO in the 3 matches and was the highest wicket taker of the series
- Andy McBrine - He is a good player to have in your team. He is a decent bowler and a handy batsman down the order.
Ireland have lost four of their last five ODI series.
Ireland Predicted Playing 11
Paul Stirling, William Porterfield, Andrew Balbirnie (C), Harry Tector/Curtis Campher, Lorcan Tucker (Wk), Simi Singh, George Dockrell, Andy McBrine, Barry McCarthy, Joshua Little, Craig Young
South Africa Team News & Playing 11
SA Team News
South Africa come into the series with a full-strength squad. However, Sisanda Magala has been ruled out of the series due to injury. This will be Temba Bavuma’s first assignment as a skipper.
SA Key Players
- Quinton de Kock - He was in blazing form in West Indies and ended the tour as the highest run-getter in both Test and T20I series. He will be high on confidence and can be difficult to tackle for Ireland.
- Tabraiz Shamsi - Shamsi had a wonderful T20I series against West Indies and scalped 7 wickets at an economy of 4.0. Knowing Ireland’s vulnerability against spin, he can be the trump card for Bavuma.
- Kagiso Rabada - The ace pacer is one of the finest bowlers in world cricket at the moment. After a decent performance in West Indies, Rabada will look to dominate the Irish batting.
South lost their last ODI series to Pakistan but won the Test and T20I series in South Africa.
South Africa Predicted Playing 11
Quinton De Kock (wk), Aiden Markram, Rassie Van Der Dussen, Temba Bavuma (c), David Miller, Janneman Malan, Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje, Andile Phehelukwayo/Dwaine Pretorius, George Line, Tabraiz Shamsi
