Everything you need to know about the upcoming two-match T20I series between Ireland and South Africa in Bristol, beginning Wednesday, August 3.
South Africa have continued an impressive run in the UK, beating England 2-1 in the three-match T20I series recently, after the ODIs had ended in a 1-1 draw with the decider at Headingley being abandoned with rain. They’ll now play Ireland in two T20Is at Bristol’s County Ground on August 3 and 5 respectively, before a three-match Test series against England begins about two weeks later.
Ireland, meanwhile, might not have had the desired results against India and New Zealand at home, but showed plenty of promise thanks to numerous individual brilliances.
They’d been swept 0-3 by the Proteas last year at home – the only three T20Is played between the two sides till date – and have a great chance to improve on that in the upcoming series, to remind the cricketing world of their potential.
