After facing an unprecedented ODI series defeat against Afghanistan, Aiden Markram’s South Africa (SA) started the two-match T20I series against Ireland on a winning note. Now, the Proteas will take on the Irish men in the second and last fixture of the T20I series at the Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi on September 29, 9:00 PM (IST). 

In the first T20I at the same venue on September 27, South Africa won the toss and asked Ireland to bat first. Batting first, Ireland posted a total of 171 runs for the loss of 8 wickets in the allotted 20 overs courtesy of Curtis Campher’s 36-ball 49 runs, alongside wicketkeeper-batter Neil Rock’s 28-ball 37 runs. 

Thanks to wicketkeeper-batter Ryan Rickelton’s 76 runs off just 48 balls, hitting three sixes and six fours, alongside Reeza Hendricks’ half-century, South Africa chased down the target only in 17.4 overs, scoring 174 runs for the loss of 2 wickets and won the game by 8 wickets. 

That said, Ireland (IRE) will be eyeing levelling the series by 1-1 with a win in this game while the Proteas will look ahead to clean sweep the former with a win in this game.

As the team gears up for the upcoming clash, all eyes will be on the thrilling competition set to unfold on the cricket field. Ahead of the game, here is a look at the Dream11 predictions, the fantasy tips, the pitch report, the top player picks, and the best-predicted XIs for the fantasy contests of the match.

Pitch Report

The pitch is expected to be good for spinners and slow bowlers. There will be bounce and carry from the surface, and batters need to spend some time adjusting according to the conditions. The toss will be important because of the dew, and the chase will become slightly easier.

Player Picks

C

Aiden Markram SA | BAT

The South African skipper made unbeaten 17 runs from 13 balls in the first T20I game and guided the side to win the series opener. The middle-order batter will once again be expected to repeat the same role in the final game to whitewash the series. Must have him as a captaincy pick owing to his great form with both bat and the ball.

8.5
C

Ryan Rickelton SA | WK

The wicket-keeper batter has made 76 runs in the first T20I game. The star batter will be looking to continue such a red-hot form in the second T20I game to whitewash the series against Irish side. He will be responsible for his steady glove-work behind the stumps alongside making crucial runs at the middle-order of the game.

8
C

Reeza Hendricks SA | BAT

The star batter has amassed 51 runs in the series opener and guided the side to win the first game. The stylish right-handed batter aims to score runs at a brisk pace and provide great momentum early in the innings in the next game to whitewash the series. Must have him as a captaincy choice in your Dream 11 team.

8

Curtis Campher IRE | ALL

The star batter has hammered 49 runs in the last game and having him from Ireland camp can be good for your team.

8

Neil Rock IRE | WK

The Irish wicket-keeper batter has made 37 runs in the series opener and having him in your team can boost your team.
