Ireland vs South Africa, 2nd T20I Match Preview:
Ireland's batting faltered in the last match. Only Andrew Balbirnie and Harry Tector could score some runs. The team will need a good start from either Kevin O'Brien or Paul Stirling.
Simi Singh and Mark Adair have been impressive in the limited-overs series so far and will remain a threat to the opposition with both bat as well as the ball.
Almost every South African batter got a start in the last match. The management will need more from a player with a reputation of David Miller. Aiden Markram will be the key in the middle order.
No.1 T20I spinner in the world, Tabraiz Shamsi, has been in the form of his life in the recent past. He along with Kagiso Rabada will be crucial to set up the game for South Africa.
