IRE vs SA Dream11 Prediction: The third and final ODI of the series between Ireland and South Africa will be played on Monday, October 7, 2024. The match will take place at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in the UAE and is scheduled to start at 05:00 PM (IST). South Africa secured an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series after defeating Ireland by 174 runs in the second ODI.
In T20I matches, a short burst from one or two players can change the game, but ODIs are a different challenge altogether. There’s little room for any team to hide over the course of 100 overs. Ireland are a strong T20I side, but going toe-to-toe with top teams in the 50-over format has always been an uphill task for them. Look at the win margin in the first two games – 139 and 174 runs respectively. Ireland need to improve drastically to take the match close.
