IRE vs SA 1st T20I Predictions & Betting Tips

Ireland and South Africa are playing out a three-match T20I series. The first T20 international of the series is being hosted at The Village, in Dublin on July 19, Monday. I have handpicked three of the best betting tips from the IRE vs SA 1st T20I match prediction.

Ireland managed to draw the ODI series, thanks to a washed out match. The most recent match was won by South Africa as expected at the start of the series. Ireland will be facing South Africa for the first time in T20Is. The T20 World Cup is right around the corner and every match in this format is important for both teams. The T20 format is the weakest that Ireland has been in a long time now. It is ranked 12th in the world, well below all the major international teams.

This is going to be the first T20I match Ireland is going to play in 2021. While South Africa won its most recent T20I series against West Indies. The Proteas will be our favourite to win as they will be high on confidence and will take this opportunity to assert their dominance. Meanwhile, as the teams buckle up for the three match T20I series, I have taken the opportunity to pick the top three betting tips from the IRE vs SA match prediction for you.

There is a blank slate in terms of head-to-head between Ireland and South Africa.
