Match Preview: Ireland missed an inaugural ODI series victory against one of the eight original Test nations and finest sides in the World cricket with a 1-1 drawn result. Ireland now moved to play twenty20 series ahead of T20 World Cup, their first ever meeting against South Africa in the 20-over game.
The hosts have lost an astounding 16 of 19 completed T20Is against other ICC members since the last T20 World Cup (2016), including Zimbabwe and Afghanistan, leaving them in poor shape to improve upon their previous T20 WC performance in which they lost to associate nations Oman and Netherlands.
This will be the first T20I series to be played in Ireland since September 2019, when Ireland defeated Scotland twice and lost to the Netherlands in a tri-series in Malahide, the venue for all three upcoming encounters with the Proteas. Along with the three recent ODIs, all indications point towards free flowing scoring with the bat.
Sixth-ranked South African side bounced back to form with their first series win in the twenty20 format in more than two years when beating West Indies in a away tour, snapping a run of five consecutive defeats – all against nations that currently occupy the five highest spots on the standings. The Proteas have enjoyed victories in ten of their last 13 T20Is since October 2017.
Irish all-rounder Simi Singh will still be on cloud nine after his maiden ODI century last week. However, it is with the ball where he did some of his best work in 2020, recording Ireland’s best bowling figures in three of their six most recent T20Is. South African leg spinner Tabraiz Shamsi is the ICC’s number one ranked T20I bowler with his team’s best bowling figures in three of their five recent T20Is against the West Indies
The average first innings score in Malahide T20Is is 160, or 198 for teams who bat first and win. Only once from eight matches has a first innings score of under 180 been successfully defended.
Ireland have recorded the most match sixes just once and the highest opening partnership just twice in their six T20Is since the start of 2020. South Africa have not accumulated the most sixes in any of their last six T20Is this year. South Africa’s last four T20Is were won by the team batting first, after the seven prior all saw successful run chases.
