Ireland vs South Africa Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips & Playing 11 Updates for Today's 1st T20I Match - July 19th, 2021

The first T20I between South Africa and Ireland is set to take place at the Village in Dublin on Monday.

The South Africans stormed back last week to level the ODI series on the back of a Janneman Malan special. They wouldn't mind a format change with South Africa coming into the T20I series on the back of a stunning win over West Indies. While Quinton de Kock and Rassie van der Dussen remain key, all eyes will be on the Proteas' bowling attack as they look to land the first blow.

Ireland, meanwhile, will be eyeing a return to winning ways as soon as possible. They have a resourceful squad, with the additions of Shane Getkate and William McClintock adding strength and balance. Although they head into this game as underdogs, Ireland have shown that they are capable of beating South Africa. With both teams eyeing a big win, we should be in for a cracker.

Pitch Report

A high-scoring match is on the cards despite there being some help on offer for the bowlers. Although the fast bowlers should get the ball to swing around in the early stages, the batsmen will look to attack in the powerplay phase. The spinners will also come into play in the middle overs, given the turn on offer. Both teams will look to chase on this surface, with the pitch playing slightly better under lights. 170 should be par at the venue, with wickets in hand being key.
