Ireland vs South Africa Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips & Playing 11 Updates for Today's 2nd T20I Match - July 22nd, 2021

The second T20I between South Africa and Ireland is set to take place in Belfast on Thursday.

The South Africans came up trumps with the ball in the previous game as the likes of Tabraiz Shamsi and Lungi Ngidi wreaked havoc. Although their middle-order batsmen couldn't fire in the backend of the innings, South Africa were able to overcome a spirited Irish side with relative ease. However, they will be eyeing another big performance in Belfast with a series win on the horizon.

They face a decent Ireland unit that can't hold their own with the bat. However, they possess an explosive batting unit comprising of Andrew Balbirnie and Paul Stirling. With a slew of all-rounders providing ample balance in the side, one wouldn't want to discount Ireland's chances of winning the game. Although they are the lesser-fancied side, Ireland will pose a tough test for the Proteas in what should be a cracking game of cricket on Thursday.

Pitch Report

A competitive track beckons with some help on offer for both the batsmen and bowlers. While the new-ball bowlers should get the ball to move around, the pitch will slow down as the match progresses, bringing the spinners into play. The batters will look to make use of the powerplay conditions, with run-scoring being relatively easier against the new ball. Both teams will look to chase upon winning the toss, with 160 being a good total at the venue.
