Preview

The Ireland cricket team is all set to face South Africa in the first T20I of the two-match series, which is slated to commence on September 27 at Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi.

The Irish team was last seen in action during the T20 World Cup 2024 in the USA and West Indies. With three losses and one game abandoned, Paul Stirling and his men finished at the bottom of the Group A standings. In contrast, Proteas will be looking to mark a turnaround after they suffered a 1-2 ODI series defeat against Afghanistan in the UAE.

The head-to-head between these two sides in the T20 cricket sets to favor Proteas. The South African cricket team has won all five T20Is against Ireland and will be looking to continue the same winning momentum against them. On the other hand, Paul Stirling and his men will not be walkovers either this time and will be looking to challenge the runners-up of the 2024 T20 World Cup.

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.
