THE PREDICTION
South Africa laid down a marker going forward into the T20 World Cup later in the year with their victory over England and will want to continue that positive momentum with a good performance here against Ireland. Whilst Ireland’s batting in particular can prove dangerous, their inconsistency has cost them against established international units this summer such as New Zealand and India, so facing a side that contains the quality South Africa do with the ball represents a really tough challenge. Provided they avoid any complacency, the Proteas should comfortably triumph in Bristol.
