Quinton de Kock and Tabraiz Shamsi had a good T20I series against West Indies.
Preview:
Ireland will take on South Africa in the 1st of the 3-match T20I series, which is starting from 19th July. Both the teams have had their success in the ODIs, as each team ended up winning one game, whereas one game was washed due to rain. Ireland now has the ability to win games against any side in the world, they showed a lot of promise in the ODIs which was evidence of it.
Meanwhile, South Africa will look to keep things simple. They would want to apply the same formula as they did in the West Indies tour, where they won the series 3-2. Quinton de Kock, who had played only one game in the ODI series, is likely to open the innings for South Africa in the 1st T20I. Both the teams are well balanced and we can expect a cracker of a contest between them.
