Pitch Report

As seen in the previous game, the pitch is a good one to bat on despite there being enough help on offer for the bowlers. While there might be some swing available early on, the batters should enjoy the conditions on offer. As the match progresses, the spinners should come into play, but the dimensions of the ground might go against them. A change of pace will be crucial in the backend of the innings, with both teams likely to prefer chasing upon winning the toss.

Today’s IRE vs SA Dream11 match top picks

Wicketkeeper

Quinton de Kock: Quinton de Kock has not been in the best of form over the last few weeks, unable to get going in the powerplay like he usually does. He is a skilful opening batter who has a knack for getting off to brisk starts. With the South African keeper due for a big one, he is a must-have in your IRE vs SA Dream11 fantasy team.

Batter

Paul Stirling: Paul Stirling is another batter who has struggled of late, scoring just 18 runs in the previous T20I. However, the burly Irishman is an explosive batter capable of scoring big runs at the top of the order. He has a heap of experience to fall back on, holding him in good stead ahead of the game.

All-rounder

Curtis Campher: Curtis Campher had a woeful outing in the previous game, unable to hold his own with either the bat or ball. Regardless, Campher adds some much-needed balance to the side with his all-round skills. While his bowling adds depth, Campher's batting alone should make him in a fine option for your IRE vs SA Dream11 fantasy team.

Bowler

Keshav Maharaj: Keshav Maharaj led the side brilliantly in the previous game, even chipping in with figures of 2/29. He is known for accuracy and ability to stifle batters for room. Apart from his bowling prowess, Maharaj can add value with the bat, making him one to watch out for in this game.
